Default 315's on wheels?

Anyone running 315 width tires on all 4 corners? I currently fun Goodyear GS-D3s 275 front and 315 in rear. I have been thinking of increasing the front to 11" rims and 315s in front also at the next tire change. Anyone have pictures of how they look all around at that width?

I was thinking same thing, to be able to rotate tires.. But I figured I may need some fender flares in fron to meet the tire. What do you guys think?

I didnt use flares and the tires only rubbed a little bit with my car way lowered.

It looks like you are running a pretty aggressive camber setup in your pics (might just be camera angle) which would make a pretty substantial difference in how they fit in there.

well I think once its time this summer I will do mine. Looking forward to getting the ZR1 Black machined lip 17x11 for all 4 wheels. Once I do, If I do need flares I will Glass them in to make them as part of the body and paint the whole thing.
(ok it looks like to save tires and rotate, I may spend more on mod'n the front end huh)
Well I like the fat look anyways.
