Possible Rubbing Issues

[1991RWHP]

Alright, I purchased the car with the lowering springs on it, and im PRETTY sure it's... (Not Positive)

Lowers Front 1.5"
Lowers Rear 1.0"

My problem is i plan on purchasing a set of 17's and putting 275/40/17's on the back, and 255/40/17's on the front.


Currently the car has the stock pony wheels with 245/45/16's on it and I'm just curious if anyone could tell me what to look for so i can check to see if i have the proper clearance before i go ahead and purchase the wheels/tires. I took the Axle Damper off the rear so I'm pretty sure i have clearance for that, but I'm mainly concerned with the actual vertical clearance with the 17's.

If anyone could help or give me advice for what to look at to check the proper clearances I GREATLY appreciate it.


Thanks ahead of time!!!

It depends on the offset and the tire - some combo's work and others do not. I saved this link from a while ago, it may be helpful, but try to search around, there is a lot of info about the subjects:
