85 cutlass supreme drop springs questions/opinions

[11spaceships]

Hello,

I have this 85 cutlass, its got an iron 5.3 lsx and 700r4. The wheels are:

Front:18x8.5 5x4.75 -6mm
Front tires: 245/35ZR-18

Rear: 20X8.5 5x4.75 -6mm
Rear tires: 245/35ZR-20

Front suspension has southside machine tubular upper a arms with 1 in taller ball joints, and .5 in taller lower ball joints. I have done the blazer brake upgrade and stainless lines. Front springs are old. Rear suspension is stock.

My question is this: I was looking at opg 2 in or 3 in drop springs. I know the ball joints drop me .5 in already. I've heard that cutlass wheel wells are smaller. What drop would be good? I'd like it to tuck a bit.

Also does anyone have pics of cutlass's on opg springs? I added a pic of the car so you can see what I'm working on.

I don't have one, but I would think on a Cutlass with 8.5" wheels, Neg 6mm offset is going to just hit the inner fender lip. +15mm offset would work better, but if you have the wheels already, I'd say you'll need to roll the fender lips and maybe cut away the inner fenders at the top. (The Blazer Brake upgrade makes this situation worse).

In Back, -6mm is about perfect and 255's should fit no problem.

Can I retain factory looking fenders when I roll them? I'd like to keep the same general shape.

Anyone have pics of a cutlass dropped on opg springs?

Rolled fenders look the same from the outside. The inner lip of the fender is rolled up.

Ahh ok. I was thinking you were talking about the import style where they pucker out the fender in a fake wide body style

The moog 5658 worked well for me. Stiffened the ride and still dropped slightly from my wore out 200k springs.
