My son graduated and picked up a 2001 SS so I figure I better find a place to get all the answers.
He is talking bigger wheels and tires I say lower it but forum members know best. All input would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the site. Depending on how big of a wheel he wants to go would also depend on lowering. I personally think 18" with a 1 inch drop looks very good on this cars.

Welcome to the forum.

There are some members with 20"+ wheels. Take a look around in the Wheels, Tires, and Suspension section of the forum. There are plenty of threads with pictures included. Hope we can help you out.

He also will probably not drive the car very lightly... too much weight spinning on wheels and the transmission probably won't like it too much.

Welcome! I wouldn't go bigger than 18", and would most def lower the car about 1 or 1.5 inches. These cars look awesome when lowered with 18" rims.
