Yes! There should be no problems. I had 17x9.5 zr1s with 275's all around and never had a rub. I also have a eibach prokit drop. I have 2" & 2.25" spacers. I was running KYB agx shocks and struts, but should not make a difference. Good luck, it will make your car go around corners like a go cart.

What you need to do first is determine the backspacing/offset specs of the wheels you want to buy. Then step two will be to do the research to figgure out what size adapters you'll need to fit our cars. If its a commonly used backspacing/offset spec then you can use other peoples experiences as a baseline. For example, if they are 4th gen spec wheels, there are alot of other people running 4th gen wheels, you can learn from their experiences. The bottom line is you'll need to research what works and what dosn't. Don't assume anything.

There's a good thread from a few months ago that showed alot of different wheel combos at different ride heights, some of them were 17x9.5's running 275's on Eibach Pro-Kit springs, so that would give you an idea of what it'll look like. I would start with Andris Skulte's Wheel Adapter FAQ, explains everything you need to know about wheel fitment. I would also recommend buying adapters through him (I went through him when I needed adapters). Check him out at www.skulte.com

Ay no worries, always glad to help if I can. Contact the wheel manufacturer for the wheel specs and go from there.
