Re: c notch install ???'s

Malo83,

Just out of curiosity, why does it matter what size wheels/tires you're running as to whether you'll need a c-notch or not?

Re: c notch install ???'s

You would think it would sit higher in rear but I'm 1" higher in the front. I don't know if wrong size coils were used in front but rear is all new with no mods. So doing the 6/4 drop will give 1" nose low when done.

I'm running 275 60r 15.

I don't know rim size but the bottom ball joint rubs just the slightest bit "the rubber boot" I have a polished spot around the inside of the rim.

correct from ground to top center of wheel well. Strange look to it with larger space in front.

KTW, I wasn't refering to the C notch when I asked about the rim and tire size, sorry for the confusion, I was thinking about the front end wheels with a 6" drop it's gonna be tight on the rim and tire package.
