The fronts fit, but it is within a gnats ass. No rubbing on the strut or on the fender liners up front. Back has plenty of room everywhere. 305-30-19 RE71R tires.

Shouldn't be any issue, I've done 23 runs on a similar setup and the same tire. I did clearance the strut ears so the wheel rim didn't hit them at max negative camber setting at the hub. When I get the camber plates installed, I'll dial that back some so then I won't need as much of a spacer up front.

My 2 cents...

Did you run flow formed or forged? Looking to pick up a set of apex for my ZL1 (non-LE) for track duty

I'm on 19"s
