I ran those same C6 reps in 17x9.5 on my firebird until last year. I tried them on my truck once but they wouldn't clear the UCAs with the 2.5" spacers I had - they looked better on the truck than the car

That's interesting, I needed 2 1/8" to clear the outer tierod and see no other interference issues. at that point going out any farther will require fender mods. (just noticed you were running 17x9.5, my fronts are 17x8.5 and that's all it will take. the second gens must have a bit more room.is your wheel back in the wheel well from High caster settings?)



Cutting one coil dropped the truck a bit more than I expected/wanted, I think my next set of mods for the front will lnclude 1/2" taller lower ball joints and another set of 5664 springs with a half coil off.

I ultimately see replacing the frame with a back halved truck frame to gain some ground clearance, this would be a perfect time to do a 4-link and coilovers in the back.
