Before and after

[pjmoreland]

What is the size of your front tires? What is the width and backspacing of the front rims? If the tires are too big and the rims are outboard too much, they may hit the inner fender when you encounter dips in the road if you lower the front 4.5 inches. I had that problem with a 3.5" drop and 255/60R15 tires on 8" rims with 3-7/8" backspacing. The disc brake conversion I installed exacerbated this problem by shifting each wheel outward by 3/4".
