Wheel Size Help I have a 96 z28. its dropped about 2". i have some 17s that a friend gave me and was wondering if there is any issue with putting these on? just bought her a couple days ago. dont know MUCH about suspension, shocks, effects of it being dropped, etc. yet. so any extra info is gladly accepted.

My 95 T/A has Eibach Pro kit springs & Speedlines off a 01 WS6 NO problems here & Im gettin 2 rims widened to 17x11 for 315s in the back 
Its all in the Backspacing & Offset IF those are wrong youll prolly rub or somethin IF someone that didnt know what theyre doin just cut or heated the springs Then get some Eibach or Strano springs & do it right!!! Eibach Sportlines need an adjustable panhard bar & relocation brackets for the rear control arms If I remember right!

i know all the work that has been done (shocks, sway bars, suspension, and lowering kit) is all eibach/name brand stuff, so its all shop work. guy gave me receipts and everything. so they should work fine?

I run the eibach sportlines, they are close to a 2.5 inch drop. I run 19x10 05 c5 rims with 285/35/19 in the rear. I had to grind the rolled lip back some and use a 1" spacer. Fronts are 275/45/18 and had no issues there. I am considering using a 1" spacer up front as well, to make it look right and maybe spread the footprint of the car to make it handle better. I think? I hope? Yes?
When the suspension compresses the rear axle moves slightly laterally toward the passenger side. Shortening the PHR will keep the rear centered during normal ride height.
