    not if you order the correct offset, but you will probably need to BFH (big ****ing hammer) in the wheels wells some so they don't rub.

        chrome over polished anyday, otherwise they are a pain to keep looking nice.

          yep, just some hammer clearancing and youll be good. Make sure to give yourself a little extra room as well, to account for the possibilty of the axle flexing under the car over bumps or especially while using a floor jack

            Think he'll have to roll his fenders with the 315's?

              I don't think so usually fender rolling is required on taller tires not wider.

                I'd love to get some 10.5's and 315s on the rear of mine next year.

                  polished over chrome anyday. the wheels on my car are almost 10 years old now and ill put them up against a 10 year old chrome wheel anyday. yea they are more work but you appreciate it more and when a polished wheel gets dull you just polish it. when a chrome wheel gets dull you have to get it rechromed. but get some pics up for sure! i love zr1s with a passion id love a set of deep dish black with polished lip for my 92 lol

                      Depends on offset, brand of tire and/or if its lowered. +45 to +56 offset suggested for 11".

                      Closer to +56 = BFH
                      Closer to +45 = Fender roll

                              i'd go polished, but the black chrome would look pretty sick on that thing!
