'17 ZL1 with 1LE tires

Hey guys, I've put 1LE tires (305 and 325 - 19") on my ZL1, here are some pics:




I am curious if anyone else has done that, and whether the stock suspension is soft enough to cause rear tire to rub on the fender.

If it doesn’t compress enough to rub on a 20 I’m not sure that it would reach a 19, unless I’m missing another component.

Does that rear bulge as much as it looks? That’s hearty.

I would be more worried about it rubbing on the inside, the 1LE has more clearance.

Yeah - well 20" fits all the way in under fender, fronts have 10mm spacers

Second photo makes it look like you have a bigger fender gap in the front.

Yeah good point. That's a good question then. May be OK daily driving, but not sure you could track that. I have a thread I just started wondering if lowering springs would cause rubbing on the track. Take a look. I have a photo of my car in a corner with stock springs compressing almost all the way to the tire. Still appears to clear even the fender edge though.
