I have 17x11's w/ 315's.... and 335's will also fit with a small roll of the lip
I forgot about the rolling. It's very hard to roll the rear fenders! You can make life much easier if you cut 3 splices in the lips so you can roll much easier! I used a baseball bat on my Z-28 with the 3 cuts spread out evenly! I wouldn't cut the lip any closer than 1/8" to the fender,. So the cut would be maybe an inch long
I don't know about you rolling fenders but I've done about 20 cars over the years and the baseball bat method is the hardest and the worse way to do it. Best way if doing something like this (outside of the profecional tool) would be to put tape over the fender lip (outside) use a peice of 2x4 and hold it against the tape and strike the inside lip with a rubber mallot or a dead blow. Small hits starting from the center working evenly down to point on either side that doesn't rub anymore. My way wont even hurt the paint if it's done correctly and the paints good.
