Default looking for input wheels/lowering/oem body kit

So i located all the peices i need for my body kit execpt the front 2 nose peices for my 98 camaro. I wanted to go with differant wheels im looking for somthing that looks really nice. So if anyone could post pics or links to pics of cars that be great. I was also thinking that if i lowered the car would i have that much clearance between the ground and the oem ground effects? does anyone have a good drop with the oem ground effects and a couple pictures?

In regards to the lowering, I love how the lowered 4th gen looks, BUT, keep in mind the roads. My car is dropped around 1.5" (previous owner did it, I don't know what he used), but I have to travel accordingly around here. Our roads are very crappy in my area, so I try to avoid the roads with tons of pot holes and extreme unevenness...which is pretty much every road. That's one reason I haven't put ground effects on, I think it would get scraped and get ripped off. I was told it would probably take away around an inch or so of ground clearance, but I don't know for sure.

Hm, I think maybe bigger wheels would offset the clearance enough that you would be ok lowering it with ground effects. How big were you thinking? I'm just trying to give you a heads up about the roads...they're brutal on my car here at least.
