Lowered LT1's with LT's

How many of you guys that have your cars lowered are running long tubes. Do you guys have any clearence issues with them at all? I would do it if i was able to leave the 18's on all year round but i have to go back to the stock 16's during the winter.

With the proper sized 18" tire, the overall diameter should be the same so changing tire size should not affect the height.

I'm running Hooker long tubes on a car that is lowered about 2". No speed bumps allowed. If your car is a daily driver and you have bad roads and you have to go over large speed bumps, probably not a good idea.
