Wheel/tire fitment question
As of now I can't decide what size tire to get.
I have ZR1 replicas in the rear (11" wide wheel) with C6 offsets (not sure of the offsets off the top of my head) Currently I am running 295/30/19's with 1/4" spacers in the rear...
I have already ordered longer studs and 1/2" spacers and was wondering if I could run 305's instead of 295's. My real question is if anyone is running 305's on an 11" wide wheel with 1/2" or 1/4" spacers? And whether or not there are any rubbing issues?
I know this us kind of a specific question but any help would or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I run 325x19 on the rear and they hang way out (now I have
wide fenders) 305 each car will be different some have no
problems others will need a spacer. It will depend ( you know
factory tolerences). If you want them, be ready for a spacer.
Oh I have 11 inch wide CCW. Good luck.

I think your issue is entirely with getting the correct backspacing. Hundreds of people have 11" wide rear wheels that don't stick out, need spacers, or rub on the brake ducts. I have 325 Invos on iForge 11" wheels, and don't use spacers.

Hmm. Can you tell me how to correct the backspacing issue? I have 295 ps2s on the zr1 replicas (11" wide) rims right now and I had to get 1/4" spacers so it wouldn't rub. I just assumed I would need 1/2" spacers for 305's... Maybe this isn't the case??
