lowering springs and wheel spacers

[guitarhead09]

what springs and how low do you guys recomend
i dont want it to look too low like a ricer

and my friend has 265 tires in the back and he has wheel spacers and his tires stuck out pretty far they were an inch and a quarter, i have 295 in the back , i think i need the wheel spacers so i dont rub when i lower it, where can i get them at

thanks

Check on ebay man. I have an '02 SS with Eibach sportlines and that bitch sits LOW. Too low, in matter of fact. Looks awesome but scrapes quite a bit. Go with the prokit or something else maybe BMR. I have 295's out back w/ 7/16" wheel spacers so they dont rub and 245's up front with 1 1/4" spacers because the tires looked too tucked in w/o them. I found the 1 1/4" spacers off ebay. Hope this helps.

thanks , what size spacers should i get for the rear do you think?

I have 7/16" spacers 4 the back so the dont rub on the inside of the fenderwell. U could even get 3/8" because mine push the tire farther out on the wheel studs(which they are going 2 do) and only give me 2 - 3 threads left on the stud to screw the lug nut on, which is not very much.

That is dangerous to have such little stud left.

You need to replace the studs with the ARP replacement:



They were about $15 (Canadian) for a package of 5. Cheap insurance as you wheels could literally fall off!

if need be, there are even longer studs.

Here is another picture showing the part number if anyone looks for ARP wheel studs in the future:

as you can see, that part # is for 12mm x 1.5"
there are also longer ones that are 2" and 2.5"
now those are long... lol
