Default Who is running 315s up front with stock springs?

Hey all, I want to run a 315 squared setup with nitto nt05s, drive to and from the track. I know I should be fine in the back, but my concern is in the front. I am running JOC shocks, with stock z06 springs. My current 315 Sumitomo HTZ do not rub except for a tiny bit on the lower control arm at full lock, but at the track under hard braking, I was curious what everyone's results are with 315s up front. I will be running 17x11 CCW classic at all four corners. I am only lowered 1/2" on the stock bolts. I know individual results will vary, since wheel offsets will place the tire either further out towards the fender, or
Closer into the wheel well. My primary concern is causing bad paint damage to the front fenders. I've put several thousands miles on the Sumitomo 315s and they have not rubbed the fender liner once.

I've been running 315/30/18 in the front on 18x10.5 rear rims. 04Z06 with stock shocks, leaf springs and a 35mm sway bar. No problems.

I run nt01 315s with c4 17x11 rears and ccw classics square (with big spacer for ccws to clear wilwood calipers) and pfadt older invert shocks with no issues. My car is lighter than stock by several hundred lbs and rides pretty high.
