Lowering Springs with Wide Tires I am looking to lower my '99 Z for the sake of appearance. I'm currently on completely stock springs and struts. It does have an aftermarket torque arm and LCA's, for what it's worth. On the front I'm running a 275 on a 17x10.5" rim. On the rear I'm running a 26x12-15. Will a 1-1.5" drop cause any rubbing or other issues?

It's going to depend on wheel offset on both the front and rear. Up front you might get a little tire rub on the wheel well liners probably at most. Out back you'll probably need a adjustable phb to re-center the tires from L to R in the rear wheel wells for maximum clearance.
FYI, there's a easy way to find out if you'll have any clearance issues in the rear. Just back back the car up on ramps, then load the rear down onto the bump stops. Then you'll be able to get under the car and see where any clearance will possible be an issue.
Btw, what you front and rear wheel offset or BS, and what width is the rear wheels?
