Depends what you mean by "fit"...

To make it so that the wheel and tyres can completely disappear into the guard without touching, you will either need to do:

1. guard rolling AND lots of negative camber

2. a little bit of guard flaring

by fit i dont mean for it to get under the guards, it ok sticking out, but i dont want rubbing issues and it hitting guards and things like that.

im sure they will fit well and look very sexy, but is it going to run badly???

wil be nuts, and will fit fine, just dont go wild on the tyre width, thats where u have rubbing issues. if u are more interested in looks go with a 255/35 (if u can get it) or a 255/40. that will give u decent traction, look nuts, and wont have clearance issues.

if u wanna go as wide as possible my reccomendation would be to get ur hand on some 2nd hand 18'" tyres, even if they are worn out, something 255 or bigger, take out ur suspension, fit the wheels, then push the wheel up through its arc and see if it scrubs and how much clearance u have at the tightest point. this will tell u how wide u can go on ur car as every car is different.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
