4/6 drop with 275/60/15's?
well, since the increase in price of the djm 3" spindles, i'm gonna go with what is currently in my sig for a 4/6 drop, and not a 5/7 drop.
so i'm wondering, can i keep my current tires 275/60/15's with a 4/6 drop with out it rubbing in front? |

tire rub
On my 78 I have a 4/6 drop. I had 275/60/15 tires on the front. they rubbed bad . I switched to 235/60/15 with a spacer. Those 275s work in the back alright.

I have a 5" drop all around on my 78 with 275/60/15's and do not rub unless I hit a bump going too fast while corner ing hard [read: lots of body roll along with suspension compression]
Even then its just a slight amount on the top of the fender. O yeah and I had to roll the lip of the fender some.
