Firebirds with 17x11 - 315's ZR1/GS

Well, i just picked up two 17x9 oe SS/ZR1 wheels for cheap and I'm looking into getting some 17x11's for the rear. Now i'll probably put 275/40/17s on up front, that shouldnt be a problem, but I want to run 315/35/17s in the rear. What, if any, problems will i run into trying to put these on a stock 94 Formula rear? Will i need the BFH to run them or not? And is a 50mm offset the best for these wheels as well?

You might want to try a "search".... I know I've answered this same question, including photos several times. There are also threads here and on "Appearance" forum discussing the issue of 50mm offset vs. 38mm offset on the 17x11's on the Firebird.
