Default Wheel, tires, suspension

Well the title says it. Looking to see if anybody knows the set up on this car. Would love to set my car up like this. Also looking to see if anybody has ran an 11'-12' wide wheel with a 315 tire, on a lowered car with no body modifications?

coil-overs do make a difference!

Thanks 1psycho. Actually ran into a post last night on LS1 tech that led me to all the info. Sweet set up. Just more than what I want to do to my car.
