17X9.5 & 17X11 TTII's W/ Sportlines? (Pics?) So I plan on getting this setup and wrapping the front (17X9.5) with nitto nt 555's - 255/40 17. The back (17X11) will see nitto nt 555r drag radials - 315/35 17. I know I will need to do some pounding of the wells, rolling fenders, and what else? I see this bumpstop mod is often done as well... what exactly is done for this. My main concern is that, will this setup fit with my sportlines? Does anybody running something like this or close to it with sportlines and willing to post pics? Anyways thanks!

Not to thread hijack, but is it necessary to do all of that with a stock height camaro? I have read about the problems with the calipers rubbing. and have seen the other thread about the BFH, But do the 315's have clearance issues not lowered?

yes,you will need to hammer out the inner panel a little.right near the bottom and toward the front.the best thing to do it mount them,drive around the block a couple times,then take them off and you will see where they rub.i would also roll the inner fender lip.and with sportlines i would highly recommend an adjustable panhard bar.lowering it that much really pushes the rearend over.
here's some pics of my car.i've got 17x11 with bfg drag radials and sportlines.

Yes, you will still have to do some BFH (depending on offset/tires). You shouldn't have to roll the outer fender lip though.

Are you planning on upgrading your shocks when you lower it because the stock shocks are not good enough to damp the stock springs let alone over a 2" drop from sportlines. The car will not ride very well if you don't.

Im running 17x9.5 in front and 17x11's in the rear with sumitumo on the front and bfg drag radials on the rear. I have no promblems with mine and I did not do the fender roll or take off my bumbstops. Just slapped them on. Here are some pics for ya.Maybe it will help you decide.

I used to have TT2's on my car a few years back and I had the Sportlines. Mine however were 17x9.5 with a 285/40/17 all the way around. I had no problems, no rubbing, no mods to the fenders. I can't remember the offset but I believe it was a +42mm. If you went with the 17x11 in the rear you will need to do the BFH mod and 90% sure you'll be rolling the inner fenders as well. *Also Adj PHR and LCA relocation brackets will be a must.
