Re: Did I get the wrong drop springs?

Pretty good at wasting time myself.

Got my "big n littles" installed today.

15x8 rear with 235/70/15 and 15x7 front with 215/75/15, both have 4" BS. With those sizes, the fronts are about 1/4" shorter than the back.

I think I might still want to go up a touch in the nose, but otherwise, MUCH better.

Am watching.

You can always try what I did, skinnier wheel with the same BS, that will suck it back into the fender, which is what I did. I put her through the paces today and never heard/felt a rub. Then you can pick out a skinnier tire, but has the same height (I'd go slightly smaller) than the back. This is a great tire size calculator that I used to help me.
