Default lowering question

just wondering about a few things..im lowering my 99 camaro this weekend on eibach pro springs and im running 17x11 in the rear...i had to do the the bfh mod to get them on and was wondering if im gonna have problems once the car is lowered? should i look into a spacer if so how big of a spacer would i need? and should i put spacers in the front to make the tire sit more flush with the fender? thanks

You won't need a spacer if you have the correct offset. Id roll your fenders before you even think about lowering the car. I didn't and one of my GSD3s is torn to shreads from it hitting an unrolled fender.

i have the pro kit too with 315s out the back my fenders are not rolled but i am just to be safe. You will need a adj. panhard rod for sure, if the tire hits the fender to hard it will damage the fender
