Default double checkin on rim/tire package before ordering

well i need all 4 new tires now and also need to replace one rim from bad damage from previous owner.

this is rim set i was looking at - http://www.oewheelsllc.com/Wheels-fo...01706-2-1.html

and was going to put 315/35/17s nitto 555s on the rear and keep with a 275/40/17 up front.

what i was wondering is am i gunna have to do any spacers or anything to gt these to not rub or anything?

should i get an adjustable track bar? car currently has a moser 9inch under it and it raised it about 1/2-1 inch in the rear with stock springs on it, it looks like the tires have rubbed a little on the inner fender once or twice so not sure, guessing the 17x11s are an extra 1 1/2 - 2 inchs on the outer part of the rim then a 17x9.5? currently what i have at all 4 corners

would i run into any problems in the future if i wanted to lower around 1-1 1/2 inchs lower then stock?

thanks!

I didn't have to use anything special to fit my 17x11 ZR1s on the rear of my '01 WS6. It was dropped ~2" with LG's G2 springs. I did have an adjustable panhard bar though, but never had to change it to fit those wheels after changing from a 9.5 rear wheel. You may have to run a small spacer if they do rub, but it wouldn't be much if any. You could probably just hammer the inner fender in a bit if you needed to and not run a spacer if they rub.
