Just ordered some Ruff Racing 279s in chrome 19" for my 01 SS....car isn't lowered at all now since I just picked it up yesterday

Rears are 19x9.5 +45 offset Tires: 275/30-19
Fronts are 19x8.5 +35 offset Tires: 245/35-19

Messing around w/ the tire calculator the overall height of the new tires on 19" wheels are VERY close. They are actually shorter overall than the stock 275/40-17s that I currently am running.

Now my question: How low can I go w/ springs on this setup? Since it is roughly the same height or slightly lower than stock--could I run a 1.5" drop or should I stick with the prokit? Any ideas/pictures would be great!!

get sportlines.

sportlines would be way too low comfort wise...BUT would look insanely nice. I had sportlines on my 17" wheels big tire out back, then went to hotchkis 1" springs, the car rides so much better and just feels awesome now. I also have 19" staggered wheels but they are AZA Z-1 wheels in black...255/35 front and 285/35 rear, doesnt rub at all whatsoever or do anything weird on the street with the 1" drop and the big wheels. Good luck hope this helps

Outer diameter of the tires should be the same as factory (about 26" tall), so it really doesn't matter what wheel size you go with. You can lower all of them the same amount regardless of wheel size.
