315's and stuff...

Ok, I'm thinking this setup for my car:
Front - 17x9.5, 7.5" BS, 56mm offset with 275/40 tires, Rear - 17x11, 8" BS, 51mm offset with 315/35 tires.
I'm getting black ZR-1's with BFG KD's. Yeah I know its typical for our cars but they look nice and not many people have my type of car around here anyways. But what I wanna know is, what is the worst case scenario for what I'm gonna have to do with these rear tires to fit? I know some say they had no problems but with my experience in the past with my car I need to be ready for it all. And I've heard the BFG's are sometimes wider than other models. And if anyone has any pics of them on their car or a friends car I'd like seeing them or if anyone has any opinions good or ba about what I'm getting, I'm all ears.
Thanks for any input

Re: 315's and stuff...

Sorry, I actually read it last week, I guess what I meant to ask for was more specifics on the actual work involved. Like anymore tips on making it easier on myself doing this, special tools or anthing at all. I'm asking because I need to be prepared for like anything and everything from preparation before I start, to finishing up. Just from previous experience working on my car... Also, the pics I was hoping for were more specific for my car with the same color rims, size tires, etc. Sorry for the confusion, I didnt specify in my post more.

Re: 315's and stuff...

I say go for it man. I just had 18x10.5s (56mm) with 295/30/18s installed in my 97 and I do not have any rubbing issues. 315s with a 51mm offset maybe close but nothing a little bangin of the inner fender wont fix

Where are you getting ZR-1s ina 51mm offset by the way???
