im running 275-40-18's all around and no rub whatsoever.... id say i could get away with a 1.5" drop but 2" im pretty sure you'll have to "massage" the fenderwell a bit

You will not get any rub. I'm putting 17x11's in the back with 315's, I'll need the BFH mod I'm also just dropping it 1"

I had the front of my Formula down 1.8" for a while, and the 275/40-17's on 49mm offset wheels rubbed on the plastic fender liners at full lock. The 7mm difference in offset with the ZR1 wheels (assuming you got the 17x9.5 56mm wheels) might just be enough to eliminate that problem. Backs will not be a problem.
