I have a 1984 Cutlass Supreme, I want to sit this set of 22's so they wont rub in the front anymore. I currently have knuckles in the front but they still rub and I also have 1 1/2 inch spring lift cups that are not installed yet would that be enough so they wont rub anymore. also do I need new shocks or anything? Any advice would help. Thank you.

U really dont need a lift kit, if your running 245/30/22 tires then u should be koo, all you need to do it cut the inner finder like an inch on each side and it should clear just fine...Grab a dremal and cut away, u will know how much to cut, as you turn the wheel to see your clearence...should take u no more that 10 mins to do.. :wink:

My 78 malibu sits with no lift kit, no spacers, no nothing, all stock and looks and clear fine with that cut...hope this helps..
