Question Lowering my 99 T/A? Wheel fitment?

Hey guys, I am ordering a 19"/18" staggered vette wheel setup for my 99 T/A and i was wondering if anyone knows if I will still be able to lower the car any without scrubbing issues? If it can be lowered, how much?

That all depends on the wheel offset, and width.
What are the front and rear wheel widths, and offsets?

It definitely depends on wheel/tire size as well as other things. The way I see it is you should def be able to fit it as long as your willing to do a little inner fender modification.

Also whether or not you go from stock springs to aftermarket, both will still have the same max compression travel. Your bumpstops define that limit. You will contact bumpstops at some point no matter what springs you have.

Question for others.... will stock springs create a bit more roll and more movement between the tires and the chassis? Or should that not matter much?
