Also, my springs were rated as 1.2" front drop, 1" rear drop.

I ran 245-45-18's on 2012 Camaro 18x7.5 wheels (apprx 5.825" back spacing) with SPC "lowering" springs. I ran 2" billet aluminum spacers (giving me 3.825" back spacing) with no issues. the car still sat a bit high in the front for me, almost like a stock height in appearance. I added Bell tech...

I got these for $150 on ebay.

I bought mine quite a while ago, so I am sure he makes (or buys) them regularly.

The 40 series tires are to short. The 225-45-18 I am using is 26.1" diameter, and the 245-45-18 is 26.4" I wanted to keep the diameter as close to 26" as possible so it wouldn't screw up the speedometer. I ran 235-60-15 before these.

I ended up buying used tires on craiglist, too. I will take some pictures tomorrow to show you how much clearance I have with my tires.

That Malibu looks great!

[QU OTE="JimmyP70, post: 473460, member: 17710"]I a lot I took a lot of measurements before buying these. They fit perfect. The only thing I would do different is use larger (wider) tires. 225-45-18 in the front, no rubbing full lock to full lock. I could easily fit a 245. I am running...

I a lot I took a lot of measurements before buying these. They fit perfect. The only thing I would do different is use larger (wider) tires. 225-45-18 in the front, no rubbing full lock to full lock. I could easily fit a 245. I am running 245-45-18 rear, and could probably use a 275.

The adapters I bought were specifically made to mount to the M12 hub/ axle and have M14 studs for the wheels. I am using the stock double threaded lug nuts to mount the center caps. Check out the link I posted above.

Thank you!

Thanks! I really liked them on the Camaro. I found Olds center caps to make them more "Cutlass appropriate"! I am using 2" billet adapters from an Ebay seller. They are from the Ebay seller below...

2012 Camaro 18x7.5 w/ 225-45-18 front, 245-45-18 rear tires. SPC springs and KYB shocks and F41 sway bars. Bell tech spindles, AFCO low friction ball joints and Speedway motors upper control arms came in today. The Del-a-lum bushings for the lower arms are back ordered :( AC Delco center link...

Thank you, both!

I am purchasing a low mile 85 Buick turbo v6 long block. I will not be running a turbo with this engine. Just some head porting, cam swap, new oil pump and gaskets. I will be using a Holly 390 cfm and Edelbrock intake. I believe the 85 turbo was a distributorless ignition. Does it have...

Have you solved this issue? I am going to use needle bearing steel bushings front and rear, and would like to know what you had trouble with and what works. Thanks, Jim P.

Starting to accumulate the new suspension parts. I would like to hear from any of you that have used either steel needle bearing or Global West Del-a- lum control arm bushings. thank you! Jim P.

I will try that in the morning. Not worried about the check engine light, just trying not to get killed! Thank you for your help! Jim P.

I am having a random problem with my 87 Cutlass, up to 94k original miles now. The car, after coming to a stop usually, will suddenly go full throttle just by tapping the gas pedal. It is very random, and unpredictable. It is a completely stock v6 with all original equipment still installed...

I went w/ the KYB gas-adjust shocks. They are a bit "soft" to me. I am running SPC coil springs (From Savitske Performance, http://scandc.com/new/node/106 ), 535lb front, 135lb rear, and stock F41 front and rear sway bars. 87 Cutlass, v6. Looking for a stiffer shock.
