A friend of mine has 315/35/17's and he has NO problems with them rubbing, just make sure that you mount them on the back two tires.

I'm not sure about this, but I think you will have rubbing issues if you put them on the front two tires.

315s fit on factory 9.5 in rims? or do you need 17x11s?

Eric, factory rims are 9" wide, not 9.5". The extra half inch is the bead mount and not included in the measurement. It's actually not a good fit on stock rims. The sidewall is pulled inward, effectively pulling up the outer treadbocks. It casues more flex and heat buildup in the tire and traction suffers. Yes some people do it, but it doesn't work too well. This tire needs a 10.5 inch or wider rim.

blown02ss check your PMs.

Really? learn stuff every day I always thought Zr1s, 10-spokes and such were 17X9.5 in rims... makes sense. I have no desire for drag radials anyways... 5-speeds don;t like me, and 315 drag radials wouldn't help the situation.

Pontiac F-body's tend to have a bit more flexibility in the wheelwell than Chevy's.

That said, it also depends upon the wheel backspacing. You can use a 17x11 38mm wheel on the front and not have to grind the bump off the spindle, or use a 50mm offset and grind the spindle and also may need a spacer. Something in between you'll need to experiment.

The rear can use the same sizes, but the 38mm may require rolling the fender. The 50mm may rub on the inner fenderwell and/or stock LCA's. Switching to rod-end LCA's may give you enough clearance, or you can use the BFH mod on the outside of the stockers - as well as the inner fenderwell. If you're concerned about your rear seatback going back into place nicely, make sure it's in the upright position before you bang on the fenderwells.

I happen to use 17x11 50mm wheels all around. Ground the front spindle and added a 7/32" spacer. Rear I had to bang on the inner fenderwell and the stock LCA's. Still had a bit of rubbing in certain corners so I added the same spacer in the rear. I later added rod-end LCA's but that was because my stock bushings were too soft for my application.

I leave the front spacer on all the time. The rear causes my street tires to rub on the fender, so I've begun taking them off when switching tires.

From a safety perspective, I'd put them on the rear only or all around. Understeer is easier to control than oversteer.

Then you're probably not generating enough lateral G's to get them to rub

Gonna have to agree... not a consistant problem, probably almost never did, but I had signs of rubing with 275s in the rear.(undercoating rubbed off in certain spots)

seems like you coudln't fit them with out just a little massaging.
