Will 17x9.5 Race star w/drag radials fit??

I have not tried yet but will Race star 17 x 9.5 wheels with 305/45/17 drag radials on the rear and 17x4.5 skinnies on the front fit? 2015 Z28... It will probably hit the calipers...

Im 95% sure no 17" wheel is going to fit.
Some 18's will fit but not with enough clearance for me.

Absolutely will not fit. I've tried every wheel and tire combo. You can go 18's in the rear, but they have to be custom made. Racestar 18s won't even fit. Factory 19s is all that will fit the front. I say that knowing that forgeline built square 18s for a Z/28R, but I'm not sure it was still running the factory CCB's. I think the race car went to AP Racing 6pots fr and 4pot rr.

CCW runs roughly 1100 a rim and forgeline runs roughly 1600 a rim. I went CCW due to costs.

The wheel selection is the only downside to 15.5in Carbon Ceramics, but I'll take the poor wheel selection over the stopping power any day.
