Eibach Prokits & 275/40/17

I did a couple of searches and couldn't find what I am looking for. I have the chrome SS rims off the 4th gens, with 275/40/17, I want to lower the car with some prokits, but I dunno if it will work b/c I haven't seen anyone with it.

It will work fine. You need spacers for the wheels but everything else will work. You may have rubbing issue up front but I think you will okay with the pro kit. I have the sportline kit which is lower and I have 17x9's that work awesome. I went with a 245 tire up front to prevent any rubbing. I could have gone bigger. Oh and I have a 275/40 out back.

I have the SS wheels with a 4th gen rear on my 91z and I have minor rubbing on the passenger side with a full tank of gas. An adjustable track bar will fix this but I havent gotten around to it yet. here is a pic
