?'s for anyone with 17x11's

I'm getting ready to order custom made (aka non-returnable) rims. I want to go 17x8 or 9.5 in front with 4" backspacing and 245-255 tires. I also want to go 17x11 with 6" backspacing in the back with 315 tires. Will the 17x11's fit on a lowered (1 1/2 inches) car with a 315 tire without major work? I don't mind rolling the inner fender lip, but want to avoid any major work around the lower control arm. I don't want the tires to stick out past the fender. Any comments or suggestions greatly appreciated.

Here’s a car with the exact configuration you are talking about. I know he is running spacers and an adjustable pan hard rod, but as you can see the car is a lot lower than 1.5. I don’t have his information however you could browse through members’ rides and find him that way the vehicle is an 88
