Exclamation 17x9" rims...sacrafice turning radius?

I Am Thinking About Putting 17x9 Inch Roh Rt Rims On My 1993 Camaro Z28, if I Put The Rims On The Front End And The Back Will I Lose Any Turning Radius???? I Am Wondering If I Jump From My 16x8 To A 17x9 If My Wheels Will Rub When Turn All The Way Or If It Will Ruin Handling On My Ride... The Car Is Lowered With A Level 1 Slp Suspension And Has A Set Of Bmr- Lower Control Arm Relocaters....

Thanks For Your Time Guys...

Thats a really old camaro, I dont think the turning radius can get much worse than 1883 suspension allows

I doubt even if you did lose turning radius that it would be anything noticable or substancial.

You won't notice any loss. If anything, it will probably feel like it turns better!

You won't loose turning radius. If anything, it will get better at high speed due to increased traction.

The wheels won't rub either.
