315's on a ZL1

I know I've read posts saying 315's fit on the rear of a ZL1 and the some saying they rub. I'm looking to replace the stock rubber and I want to upgrade to something better, the tire I like most is the Nitto NT01 which comes in a 315/30 R20.

For guys running 315's are they 35 section like stock or 30? And what rubs?

Any help would be appreciated.

Michelin PSS. I wish I would have upgraded sooner. These tires are far superior in grip compared to the Goodyears.

You know, I had PSS's on my SRT Challenger and LOVED them...here I've read mixed things about them vs the Stock rubber. Are you tracking your car or are you just talking about everyday performance? I know the MPSS are WAY better in the rain but I heard dry/hot traction is worse.

I've got BFG Rivals in a 315 and they are awesome. Lots of stick and they handle very well.
