Wheel Fitment Verification

Ive searched and could not find a specific answer to verify.
Here's the setup:

17x9 w/ 275s on all corners
20mm offset/ 5.8 backspacing
ls1 brakes
factory 9 bolt rear width
car will be lowered with GCWJ

I know i should have 5.5bs front but I'm not sure if lowering will give me more room for wheel fitment

Thanks.

Re: Wheel Fitment Verification

There is no guarantee that every 17" x 9" wheel is going to fit over LS1 brakes, so you need to be specific of what wheels you will be using.

They're a ccw knockoff called an str520. There was a guy on tech who used them on an ss Camaro and they fit well.
