just about any 11" wheel will rub the fender when the car is lowered. If you roll the fender you will be fine.

Just FYI . . . You "Technically" do not need to do ANYTHING to the bumpstop . . . although if you try to install the wheels with the axle hanging it will catch. There will NEVER be an issue driving.

I aligned a Customers vehicle he had a Silver SS with TT2's and a pro kit car looked amazing with the wheels and the drop, it gouged the hell out of his BFG's on the corners of the tires with the stock shocks, he switched to aftermarket shocks and said he had no problems with the tire rubbing anymore. Now this may be different because of the roads and all but just some info. If your going to keep your stock shocks then you need to roll the fender to help save the tire.

I have the TT II 17X11 in the rear. Before I lowered it, it hardly ever rubbed. Now that I lowered it, man does it rub. I love the way it looks but the sound of the tire rubbing is like nails on a chalk board to me.

i just went and bought a set it the the rears and the guy at the shop told me that even if i lowered it everything would still be fine and if it did rub it would only be on the "biggest" of bumps... so well see what happens
