Thanks Rick. I swapped out the 275's for 255's in the rear today, and the ride is much better with no scrubbing. Just need to work out what to do with the front, change the tires to a 215/65 perhaps or just raise the front about an inch? The jury is out [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] Any suggestions? ![]() ![]()

But, check your back spacing on your wheels, you probably need around a 4.00 or more back spacing to keep the fronts from rubbing. |

The fronts have 4" bs. After thinking on it overnight, I am going to raise the front a little and see how that goes.

Swapped out the front springs today and raised the car as well. Is probably a fraction high for my liking but may settle a little as it has brand new springs in it. Drives great now without any scrubbing issues. Lost the stance a little but an ok trade off in my book.
Registration next week then we will use it as our weekender whilst the Chevelle is at the paint shop. ![]()
