please do me a favor and post a pic of your car, along w/ the tire size and also if you had to mod the wheel wells to make them fit, and do you experience any rubbing? trying to make some decisions here...thanks!

Yep - got both, as the link 89RagTopRS gave you, shows.
And nope, no modifications to the wheel well, and nope, no rubbing (except at full turn while backing up, but my stock 245/50x16s did that as well)

My car has 17 X 12 rear and 17 X 9.5 front. Its lowered probably about an inch, since I cut about 1/2 round off of the 87 IROC springs I put on the car. I had to do some clearancing on the rear due to huge 335/35/ZR17's but the fronts ,275/40/ZR17, have never scrubbed. Even after clearancing the inner fenderwells, the car would scrub a little if you hit a BIG bump with the RS springs, but it hasn't scrubbed at all since I put on the IROC springs and the KYB shocks.

Ken your car looks AWESOME!!! I have my car lowered 2" and sittin on 17x8 niche wheels I wanted to go 17x9.5 but was afraid of running into rubbing issueswhile running the 275/40-17s. When I get my new hood and repaint at the end of the month I'll be sure to post some pics. I am also thinking of stepping up to some 18x8" wheels.
