Hi, new owner of a 1984 monte carlo ss and ill be purchasing the opg 3 inch lowering springs. My question is will I have any rubbing problems with tires that are 215/75/15 (car came with them) on the fenders or will the tires tuck under them ? What about the fronts ?

Maybe you will maybe you wont every car is different .

I know thats not what you want to hear but thats just how it is.

215/75/15 is a small tire I would say no they wont rub.

But let us know how it works out!!!

I´d say it depends on the offset. I can only speak for 14" original Rims with 205/70 and i have no problem.
With OG wire Wheels and 185/70/14 the Tires where (slightly) rubbing if you did a sharp turn.

Ok got the springs in lowered the car really good and not too stiff just right. Ill post pics soon .

Glad everything worked out!! Can't wait to see some pics. The "stiffness" might kick in just a little bit after the springs are set. I took my beauty for a cruise today through some rough streets in the back country.. Ehhhh.. Better just stay on well maintained roads 😂 or maybe I'm investing in some UMI suspension upgrades.. We'll see.
Again, glad it worked out!
