I bought a 71 c 10 from family. With work done previously. Need help and guidance have two inches of turn before they rub on fenders. Drop spindles two inch and different springs and tires are 275/60/15. Any possible ideas or help is appreciated.

275's on the front are pretty wide. depends on how much backspace and how kuch spring drop.

235 or 255/70/15 a better option for the front - 275/60 too wide. The mix of 235 or 255/70 on front with 275/60 on back (I'm just assuming, but you didn't mention rear tire size?) can preserve roughly a common diameter without needing the front to be so wide with a 60 to make it tall enough. My 2c only of course. Welcome to the forum, by the way! I guess I should ask what your plans are? Want a rake? Stock look? Skinny/Fat, but no rake? Let us know. A great combo if you want a slightly beefier look all the way around is 255/70/15 at all 4 corners. Another great look, is 235/70/15 front and 275/60/15 rear.

Thanks y'all. She won't be much of a rake. The rear is flipped. I want her to be a classic cruiser just low and slow. I can't figure out how to do pics.
