Ya, that is the same car that is on my site, I need to update it.
I am running 2-1/4" Wheel Spacers from www.vettebrakes.com on the front wheels and I have a 4th gen rear from a 95 Formula so I sold my 2-1/4" rear spacers that I had to a friend of mine to use on his front wheels after we put a 4th gen rear on his car.
I was running 2-1/4" all around so that it would be easier to sell my extra pair. The rear spacers are supposed to be 1-1/2" to 1-3/4".
My front wheels do rub the inner fender wells, not sure if that is because I have lowering springs on the car or the 2-14" spacers or a combination of the two. I have 275/40/17" tires on the front and rear. I might buy a pair of 245/45/17 for the front wheels when my rear tires wear out and see if that helps any.
The rear fit without any problems.
here is a video of my car when I had the spacers on all 4 corners,

zeph, your car is got a sweet stance to it in the video. I even like it without wing, i usually dont. Someone else said it had the look of a vette. I would agree. nice... what springs are you using?

I am afraid to drop mine much more. I believe it is a stock height but the my car seems to sit lower than most camaros I see. I will have to see if I can find some tech data about ride height between coupes and convertibles.

Worn springs can make the car sit lower and can be dangerous when you need to manuever quickly since the spring isn't as stiff as it should be. My old 96 Camaro had worn springs on the back due to a heavy stereo system and the rear would be unstable at 70-90mph. I put my rear WS6 springs from my 86 Trans Am on it and the car drove much better.
