17X11s W/315 & Lowered???

Anyone have 17x11 zr1s with a 50mm offset and a 1" drop or lower? I want to get the 315s, but if they won't tuck I'll just go for the 275s. Post some pics if you have them or send me a link. I'm planning on hotchkis 1" drop springs with the rears cut a little (mabye) or some 1.5" rear drop springs. I have already seen these wheels and tires on a stock ride height car, but I would like to see them on a lowered car.

Thanks in advance

I've seen them on 1.5" drops a couple times. an on car adjustible panhard is really nice for centering the tire clearances, and rolling the fenders is a nice way to help. not sure what all had to be destroyed in the inner wheel well

Thanks for the pics guys, I kinda forgot about this thread LOL

What offest are you guys using with the lowered cars? They look like they sit in the fender a little better than other cars that I have seen.

Thanks again and those cars look badass BTW
