Title: 4.5 Front Drop Tire Question
Post by: chevymotocross on January 29, 2009, 07:57:48 pm

I may be installing a 4.5 front drop on my 87 via 2.5'' spindles and 2'' springs. I currently have 255/70/15 tires. Would these rub up front? I do have 225/70/15 tires I can have put on the front. Would those rub as well? I would like to keep 255/70's on all 4 corners but if 225's will work in the front, I'll run those.

The 255/70/ are 29" tall, the 225's are 27.5".  The 255's may be too tall, the 225's should be ok.  Just mount them and find out.
