can i put 22s on my 86 cutlass with out lifting it?

[T-TOP TONY]

Yea I used adapters all around. Gives it a better look too... they line up with the body instead of sitting in so far. And as far as lifting, for a Cutlass you're gonna have to either trim the front fender or raise the car. With a Monte Carlo you may not have to due to different fender shaping. Unless my Cutlass is just unique to every other Cutlass, I just don't see how you can avoid grabbing the fender when turning the wheel without lifting. The knuckles gave me 2 inch lift, if not more, and I was still hitting the fender.

my friend has an 87 442 he put 22 inch wheels with out lifting

i put 24s on my aerocoupe there 3pc rims with a big *ss lip . i put new springs and shocks in the front and air shocks in the back so and i had 2 put adapters so it wouldnt rub on the frame but the front still does. but my main issue is when im driving and any little line in the road makes my front tires rub pretty bad with the inner fender and it even ripped off a little pieces of tire do u think those knuckles u guys are talking about would help ????and would it raize it alot i dont mind a little bit just enough so it wont rub?? or do they make the springs more stiffer???

Why would you spend the extra $$ on 3 piece wheels and not get the correct offset?

because i had gotten them for my 1995 impala ss but i sold my impala and kept the rims

ah, well if they are 3 piece wheels you know you can get them re-hooped to not hit the frame. Shouldn't be too expensive.

Yep...I drove T's SS when it was stock on 22's and when dropped. Damn near full lock. Lil rub, just a lil...

Before...

After
Belltech 2" drop spindles up front and Belltech 1.5 springs in the rear. Not sure if T swapped in some new moog front springs tho.....Same pic...

I did my drop based on T's setup. I went a lil lower tho. 3" up front and 3" out back. I'll drop my Rocs on and post a few pics

Thanks bruh!! If mine looks any where near as clean as Tony's SS, I'll be a happy dude. My drop is agressive, and will take some thought on fitting the deuces on. I had a set of 24" irocs but sold em cuz I wanted to be really low. I could have pulled it off but some tubbing and other mods would have been needed... Thanks again fam. I'll try to get some pics up soon...
