Ok, so after doing more research and looking at my buddy's 1LE with the same MRR017 wheels (he bought a set of MRR for street tires), I'm guessing because of the different brakes on the front of the 1LE that something is slightly different in size versus the non-1LE 4 piston brakes set up (perhaps rotor top hat thickness or something) because he doesn't have the front tire poke like I do. So with that being said, since I now have these larger wheels on my SS, I think I am going to forego lowering my car because I think I have a very strong likelihood of some tire rub on the fender, which I absolutely do not want... If I had my stock SS wheels on there it wouldn't be an issue, but when I went from 8.5" fronts to 10.0" fronts, the problem arose. He does have the "Track Alignment" on his car so he does have a good amount of camber, but even before he didn't recall that much poke on the front of his...

2SS Capt, how much gap is between the top of the tire and the fender on your SS? After putting the MRRs on my LT1 I definitely have more gap.

I'll have to measure it, but yes going with the MRR017 and 1LE tire size, you'll pick up about 1/4" to 1/2" more gap... It kinda bugged me at first but I've grown to not mind it, the one fact I like is the spacing is even all the way around the tire (vs. the tire being almost in the wheel well at the top and wide spaces at the front and rear of the tire (to the fender).

2SS Capt, do you have any good side pictures of your car? I'm curious about the gap too. I ran MRR 650's on my last SS with 295/35 and 275/35's. Little more diameter to help with gap. Really like that set up, but I've also seen what you mean about that "even" gap all the way around, and I do kinda like that too....

Nice. Look beautiful. While I don't "mind" having it lower than that, I'm old school so to ME....that looks low already! My Iroc had 3+" inches before I lowered it, lol!!!!!!!

Thanks! Just changing to this wheel and tire setup, it did lower the car overall about a half an inch but I did pick up a little bit of wheel gap in the wheel wells.

same experience here with the lowering on my LT1 and it looks like we have the same amount of gap.
