for track work, I run Nitto Nt1 305/35ZR18's in the rear on a 2017 Stingray z51. I encountered some rubbing issues against the fender lip when hitting dips in the road (I drive the car to the track on those tires) which went way when I had coil overs installed and a track alignment done.

I am about to get 305s on a 20" rear, 11 inches wide, 79mm offset. Disappointed
to hear a rub issue.
Wondering if a wider rims (from 10" to 11") would change the offset?

Turns out only the left rear rubs, and not too bad, hasn't even worn the sound deadening layer off. But sounds bad...ha, I think they will work just fine.
