16 z07 3/4s lowered on stock bolts LG drop spindles, 295/30/19 F 345/30/19 R r888r. Rear rubbed passenger side ever so slightly on the fender lip. I shaved the fender 1/8inch in a small section and rub went away, doesn’t rub anywhere inside the fender liner. I can fit very tight 2 finger in both rear wheel well.
front is a different story, the front Stock springs lower much more then the rear stock so I can barely fit a finger in my front wheel well because of this. The wheels rub on the plastic fender splat. And on the liner a little bit. Front has -2 camber.
the rear isn’t really an issue it’s the front, and I think it’s becsuse of the r888r tires I’m running they have an extremely squared shoulder, about as squared as it gets, unlike the old r888 or PSS non-runflat those have much rounder shoulders that curve inward, I need about 1/8 more clearance to not rub. The R888r also runs big for its size.So I will end up raising my front a little or swapping tires out, haven’t came to a conclusion yet.
FYI:Front 19x10.5 et35
Rear 19x12.5 et55
I would still get the spindles just don’t drop your car all the way on the bolts prior, stock wheels will fit better I believe because of the offset aren’t as aggressive as mine. Hope this helps good luck.
I know this is an old post. I also am running toyos but I have the stock wheels and I'm running 325s but I'm considering going 19s with the 345s in the rear. Would you be so kind to give me some feedback of how you thought the car drove after you went to the 19-345's from stock? Thanks so much
How do you like how the 19s drive vs the stock set up?
I like it a lot better. The car corners much better with the bigger 295 up front in addition to my LG Sway Bars. Overall, it really has made the overall handing way better (My C7 Z06 Convertible is a 3LZ FE6). Additionally I changed out the rotors to Girodisc.
The 345 footprint is marginal over the stock 335, but it is still a touch wider.

Thank you! I have Toyo on the stock wheels, 295 up front but the 20/335. For more grip, I've been considering the 19/345's, but was also mindful of the esthetics since our cars have too much wheel gap to start so may do drop spindles.
