I saw that some one did it on one of the LS1 boards but can't find it.If I remember right it took half inch spacers and the wheels stuck out about a 1/4 inch outside the fender well.

315s are as wide as you can go by just getting a bigger wheel, and sometimes you still need to pound in the fender well. anything bigger will prolly work with a tad more work, but i wouldnt wanna try to run that tall and wide of a tire in an fbody. 17x11 with a 315-35-17 is really easy to do and looks badass.

Yeah... mine are definately either 10.5" or 11". Might be 11" cuz the sidewalls are pretty flush with the rim. 19"x12" seems like a tight fit ... I'm really not sure. You probably would have to modify the whole well.

I'm lookin at hopefully running some 325/50 15's this spring- I'll be sure to post pics and how I got them to fit. From what I have been reading, it doesn't look like it it will be that bad.

in my opinion, anything bigger than a 17 doesnt belong. 18" wheels actually raise the car slightly. if dropped 2" 18s look fine, actually, they look awesome. but if you go bigger like 19, 20, or even 22s like a certain someone...lowering will not compensate for how much taller the wheels are, even with airbags.
