Default Decided on cragar...

Now that I have decided on which wheel I want, the cragar 17" and the Nitto NT 555. What do you guys think of this setup for mainly street? I want to lower in the future, near future, whats the rub like on this going with the hypercoil springs and bilstein re-valved shocks. I know all that is needed with lowering, but will I rub, or are there better springs? Lastly where can I get the best price on the cragar/nitto package? Thanks

17" x 9.5" wheels with 275/40ZR17 tires you'll be fine. Thats what the Berger Hot Rod Camaros ran.
