Too low for c4 zr1 rims/tires?
My car is in need of new tires. Due to the skim pickings of 245/50/16 tires, I've been debating picking up a set of Corvette c4 zr1 rims/tires to bring the car into a more modern size. I'm afraid that I'm too low in the front. The car has 2.5-3" drop Intrax springs front and rear. Pictures below. Thoughts or experiences?

They're wheels and tires, hence the name of this subforum...

Exactly, and with a lowered car, you have more clearance issues. Mine already rub the sway bar.

Thanks for the helpful input, though.
