Ah, makes me glad I got the Hotchkis TVS system. I was worried about the drop not being enough. One thing about these cars is the fenderwells. They are flat on top, so you really can't stick out much. I plan on tucking mine a little so I won't have to roll or have any rubbing issues. There is another real nice 442 on these boards, something like xhilir8442 or something with a nice set of wide wheels. Only thing I don't like is it looks like the flat part of the fender sits on the tire. I'll save the wide tires for my Grand National.

Ditto, what is your backspacing?

 

[moose]

Mr.Evil, I do not know the backspacing. They're old Cragars that came with a Monte I bought years ago. They fit the Monte so I threw em on the Cutlass without much thought. Just rubbing issues, never bottomed out. Since I put on the Bilstiens I can now fit my whole fist in between the tire and wheel well. My tire height is 26.1" and Mark at SC&C said he doesn't recomend anything over 27" with his suspension setups.

Ok, thanks, I'm running the same size wheel with a 2" drop spring, but I haven't got it all together yet to see what effect it will have.

Took my wheels off yesterday to measure the backspace, It's 4.25" and like I said, had to put a 1/4" spacer on the fronts.

not lowered on purpose but this is what it looked like when the ball joint broke recently
