Default Problem with 2 inch drop?

I have a white Z28 that was dropped 2 inch before I got it. I've been looking at a set of 17x9.5 Z06 wheels with a 52 mm offset (black with chrome lip). Now I know if my car was stock ride height they with fit. But is there anyway I can put these on my car that has been dropped 2 inches without going to a really low-profile? If so what size tire? I am welling to modify the wheel well alittle if needed. I know this is the kinda thread everyone hates but any info would ehlp alot!

Thanks

Well on other thought, would 315/35's fit on 17x9.5s in the back?

I wouldn't do that. The 315 needs to be on an 11" wheel. With a 2" drop you will most likely have to bang the inner fender well and roll the outer fender lip.
