They will hold if track prep is good. I've cut 1.36 sec 60' with them.

and they fit perfect, with a bit of rubbing on a real solid launch. Just leaves a scuff mark from the fender lip, and it rubs somewhere inside too but I haven't had them off to look at where exactly.

Are you stock height in the back? And do you have pictures of what the wheel looks like on your car?

They didn't hold mine I'm at 758 whp on a mustang dyno Wallace racing calculator says with my et and weight im at 840 whp not sure how accurate they are? But with 17" MTs it would spin anytime i would launch the car, if I remember correctly my best pass was 10.3x. When I switched to the 15" MTs last year my 2nd pass I went 9.84. I was at the track Saturday and ran 9.90 9.86, 9.85, two other passes I spun on the 15" tires, a lot of it going to depend on the track prep.

If your talking about the 15" tires I’m still on the stock mag ride shocks and springs with no fender rub, I will say that the Carlyle Racing 15" conversion does seem to lift the car about 1/2" to 1".

I'm having the same issue with my 17's. I am dreading the 15" conversion...not that it's the end of the world...I just want to drive.

It looks super close but isn't actually that bad, and those aren't scratches on the inside, it's just sand.

What about on the street will they hold if I roll out and feather the throttle at about 30 miles an hour?

Dammit man those are some really good pictures I really appreciate that!! Big-time!! So for the 315/50/17 they basically fit but a rubber little bit on a solid launch. But under normal driving conditions they don’t rub? Or racing around on the street no rub it all? I’m also lowered 1 inch are you lowered at all?

Correct. Stock height. If you look at the picture with my hand in it, at the 2 oclock position on the tire, thats the only actual evidence I have of it rubbing. If you're lowered an inch I'd probably go 26's, but that will put your exhaust that much closer to the ground lol

On the street, I have yet to find any 17" tire that will hold.

So I’ve got 700whp on a 17x10 bead-lock on a 2015 ZL1. In your experience when would it rub (was it something you could feel or hear), like at the strip with prep or pulls at streetlights or roll races? Would you say it’s rare and unlikely under normal daily driving or will it still rub on street pulls at higher psi. I’m trying to decide between yours and 305/45/17 but yours look way better.
