4th Gen ZR-1s?

Will a set of 315/35R17 ZR-1s from a 4th Gen Camaro fit my car? I think I want some wider tires with lower profiles and these are good. Just curious, thanks.

You will need spacers to run 4th gen wheels on a 3rd gen.

Are you going to try to get the 315s on the front or just the rear? 315-17s are going to stick out past fenders on the front and will have rubbing issues.

On my car, the ZR1's have 275/40/17 on all 4 corners and the Z06's are 295/35/18 rear and 275/35/18 front.

Brand of wheels?

What brand are your wheels? Are they O.E. concepts? I really like the z06 rims, did you have to run spacers?

I was thinking about putting them all around. I now have a 4th Gen rear under my car and it is a little wider than the factory one. I shouldn't have any trouble in the back. In fact, it sticks out too far. The wheel well rubs the tops of the tires.
Would the 315's be too wide for good handling? That is most of what I am going for, but I know too big can be bad when it comes to tire width.
