Re: Will 15x8s fit all the way around?

I must be the odd man out here. My 69 is around 2" lower than stock in the front. Tires are 255-70x15 on 8" rally wheels. I had an issue with the front tires barely rubbing the bolts that attach the inner fenders to the fender lips. (Mostly on fast turns with bumps in the road.) Ended up replacing the top ones with button head bolts. Problem solved. Spindles and rotors are from an 85 C10, so it's possible they stick out a little more than stock.
