Default Need Info PLEASE!

A friend of mine put 17x11's on a 2000 SS Convert with 50mm offset. He's got springs to put on it also. The springs are 2" Intrax. Are these springs going to work with the 11's? What has to be done to make them work if anything? Any and all help is much appreciated.

No one can tell you definately. It varies from car to car. He'll definately need an adjustable Panhard bar. But other than that all you can do is put them on check for clearances, and adjust.

50 offset will not clear 315s.

They'll fit, but some mods will need to be done. The inner wheel well will need to be massaged with a BFH. Once lowered an adjustable panhard is a must, and the wheel well lips will need to be rolled.
