I have 11x17 with 315x35 tires - I think the biggest tire withour major body mods is 335

I have 11*17 with the 315 but I'm 99% sure that 335 will not fit without SERIOUS modifications around the fender lip.

It Looks REALLY cool though. I think they have them on the ZL1 Camaro show car

LG motersports offers 335 as an extra option on the '98+ zr28 package. - You'd have to call to see if this fits on a '96. As well depends on the spring strength, and if the car is lowered.

Anyway 315's fit for sure, using a stock height tire.

I actually was more wondering along the lines of a drag tire. Like 15x10" wheels with a 12" slick: will it fit??

I just went through this. there is no 15x10 rim that does not require some modifications.

I bought some 15X10 Weld Prostar with the 7.5 inch back spacing. I'm told that I will have to grind done the rear calipers which I'm prepared to accept.

I have 11.5 x 26 x 15 ET's going on them

Damn Shawn! You better wear a neck brace. First insane HP, now traction?

Make sure you post some times when you're all done.
