Default 325 50 15's on lowered car?

have a 99 Z28 that has the high rider edition suspension. i have no idea why this car sits so tall, never seen one like this. i have a set of 325 50 15 DR's that will be on the car, can i lower this car and not hurt my tires? i have right now some TTII's on the rear with 315 35 17's and have about 4 to 5 inch's between tire and wheel well. WAY TOO much fender gap. help please

My Ws6 is lowered on 325's with no issues. The rear is narrowed now but the wheel sits in the same loacation as a 15x10 wit 7.7BS and stock length rear. I rolled the lips and cleared the inside with the BFH, doesnt rub AT ALL.

The front has coilovers(dropped app. 2") the rear is lowered 1.5".
The wheels are Bogarts new GT with recessed lug holes, 15x10.25 rear and 15x4 up front.

Also remember a 325/50/15 will fill up alot more gap than a 315/35/17 you have now. Any pics though, it seems like it sits higher than others from your description.

Thanks.
The wheels are a new design , similar to the Floyd RT but the spoke edges are diamond cut and I had these built with recessed lug holes(thicker center),short billet caps and no "GT" engraving. I've been a Bogart dealer for years but am not a site sponsor so dont want to start any drama. SJM should be able to give you some pricing,they are great people to deal with and may chime in.

325 50s with stock rear springs. Isolators removed. Fenders were rolled slightly when I bought the car.
