Default Lowering & Rims?

Stupid Question but. will the size of the rims and tires make a difference on how far you can lower your car. example i have a 95 z28 with 17x9 in rims and the tires are 175/40/17 falcon ziex 512. i bought eibach pro lines wich is said to be 1.8 in the front and 1.5 in the rear and a BMR adjustable panhard rod and lower control arm brackets bolt in. will i have problems with the front rubbing or am i ok? thanx

With stock sized tires I think you will be ok. Just center the rear with your adjustable bar.

Are you sure you don't mean 275? my Schwinn 21 speed has 175's...

And no, you shouldnt have problems... LOTS of guys with 275's are lowered some even lowered on 315's
