They will fit just fine, that's what I have on my Z. Not the exactly the ideal rim width for the tire size though. If you go this route you may want to do some fine tuning with the tire pressures to get a good contact patch.

Does it make any difference that the car is lowered? It has the DRM Xtragrip coilovers. The reason I am considering this size is because there is a fellow forum member selling a used set (low miles).
Location: No more yankee my wankee, the Donger is tired!
Locobobs car is really lowered. He had to go to the 285/335 combo to raise it up a bit. Otherwise he scraps and rubs on stock sized tires. Also helps fill the wheel wells out a bit more.

Good deal. Well Jeff, it looks like my insurance company will be involved at this point. For the price of two new GM A-molds, I can get a set of 4 AFS A-molds and have them shipped to you for some black chrome goodness! Wanna try?
Ship them on over, and I'll get them done. Be careful on ordering the new afs rims. The 11" don't have the sunken wheel lugs like the originals do.
Is that a fact? In that case, I might not go that route then. I suppose I can look for A-molds online, but thanks for the heads up! When I know more about what the insurance company will do, I will let you know more!
You may want to have them widened an inch, to 12", for the best, flat contact patch.
Ask the Texas boys, there's a place, I think in Dallas, where they can do it for $125-$150 a wheel. If they're not your original wheels, who cares, mod 'em, and get all that rubber on the road.
I called AFS, and I was informed that they now use a new (foreign) supplier, and the old-style wheels are no longer available. She actually checked the warehouse for me to no avail. I might try to find some on ebay or something, but who knows? If they are true GM wheels, where will the GM stamp be? Thanks a lot!
