Anyone here happen to have Sportlines, and wide 18" wheels....

I have OEM Z06 wheels (18X10.5 with 295/35 tires), and I currently have the prokit, but I want to go lower. I had sportlines on my SS and ground clearance wasnt THAT bad, but my main concern is running a 2" drop with that wide of a tire in the rear. Anyone do this?

what offsets are the OEM ZO6 rims? I thought they were somewhere around 64mm...?? You had to do the BFH mod to keep those tires from rubbing with that wheel offset, right?

I just ordered a set of four of 18x10.5 (+53 o/s) chrome ZO6 rims wrapped with 275/35/18 rubber.

IMO, with a 10.5" wheel, you should've gone much wider with the tires in the rear.

I had Z06 rims in back (18x10.5) with 325.30.18s and Eibach sportlines. I had to bang on the inner wheelwell for the big tires, but had no problem with the quarter panel clearance.
