I did on my c4 zr1 a few months ago. the 315's in the front make the car run very rough. great around corners but hard on your power steering and your butt. also any irregularities on the road and your car starts darting around. did not like it and switched back.

There aren't many really good options for competitive street tires in 315-17 anymore, most of the hot tires only go up to about a 255-17 then they jump to 18" sizes. Unless you're going to use a DOT R-comp tire, you may struggle to find a competitive tire.

YES !!
Phoenix built me a C5Z T1 car with 17" CCW's several years ago and recommended 315 square. Worked great.
I now run a different c5Z with 315 x 18 square. makes tire management so much easier.....

My current car with speed line 18 x 10.5 on the front with 315's are
pretty reasonable.
