Verified that the rear wheels will not work on the front today. Too much positive offset on the rear wheels. Wish I'd had a 23mm or so wheel spacer to see how things look. As far as width goes, a 305 tire might fit on the front with the right offset wheel, but I'm not sure if it would work without reducing the diameter of the tire. The stock tire fits pretty tight under the spring seat on the strut, so of course it would be even tighter with the 305/30.

The rear has more room to go wider, but there is one spot on the inner front wheel well that sticks out a little. Someone posted something about a wiring harness or something on the rear of the SS that was a clearance issue. Looks like it's the same on the ZL1. If the width is all that's increased, there is some room, but there's nearly zero room to increase the diameter of the tire in that one spot. I didn't remove the fender well to see what was under it there, but it feels like there's something mounted solid.

I tried circling the bulge in the rear fender well, but my phone changed the file extension so the picture wouldn't load. Maybe I can try to edit it on a computer tomorrow.
