Rim size question I have a 2002 Trans Am that is going to be modified for a road course/ auto X. I've got 96' Camaro SS ZR1 rims on it now but am looking to upgrade to a 19x11 11mm os front & 19x11.5 26mm os in the rear with 305/30ZR-19 tires on all 4. Im wondering if anyone else has rims this size or bigger on there's and if you had to do any body modifications to achieve it. Browsing around Ive seen a few with 20's on here but not sure how you guys did it and Im wanting to achieve a larger rim size without any body modifications. The car is also going to be lowered, been trying to decide between the eibach sportline or pro springs. Rim space may actually decide.

You may want to do some further searching on whats actually the ideal setup for handling first rather than making the mistake of buying overly tall wheels.
Generally speaking you will get the best course times with 17x11" wheels with 315/35/17 tires on all corners.
For the rest of the setup you clearly have not searched either. Sportlines are the wost possible springs you could buy, way too low and not enough spring rate to compensate. Search for the koni/strano setup if you want to turn, there is no comparison for less money.
