a few questions about wheels and springs... - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Howdy ZR1 enthusiasts. I have a few questions about the car that I can't seem to get answered anywhere else. Firstly, I have a 91 Z and I want to upgrade to 18 or possibly 20 inch wheels. What would be proper backspacing in the rear to enlarge to 12 inches wide? I want a good look that fills out the fenders but doesn't exceed them or cause rubbing. Also, with the addition of a larger wheel, it may cause an unsightly change in ride height. Is it possible to lower the car TASTEFULLY (1-1.5 inches) to compliment the larger wheels? I have looked for an aftermarket lowering spring for the ZR1 or even just the C4 and I cannot find a manufacturer anywhere.
Thanks for any info.
