If you wheel offset is right then no, no mods. The SS's came with 275/40-17's (same general width and height) on a 17x9 stock.
Wheel and tire fitment is always a wheel/tire fitment issue and not a suspension issue. You might at times need to run an adjustable PHB (always smart with a lowered car anyway), but if your wheels are just too big, they are just too big. If you can't stuff your size 11's in a size 9 shoe, it's not the shoes fault, it's the fitment you are trying to use.

Yah I mean they have no problem now and those wheels required no modifications when I put them on I just didn't know if I dropped the car an inch or so if it would rub or mess any thing up. When you lower the car and put an adjustable phb on there....Is the phb normally gonna be set shorter or longer than the stock one. I have an aftermarket one right now but it is non adjustable.
