Well I know without a doubt that it clears AFS rims in the A-mold style.

The only rim that its not supposed to fit under is a sawblade, in which case you'll probably just need a spacer.

It'll clear, dont worry.

Yes, they will fit fine under the A-molds. I went with the factory Z06 wheels, which off course fit just fine.

The sawblades would require about a 1/2" spacer to make them work, which probably wouldn't be very safe anyway.

Check out my pictures of the finished product:
