Both of those cars look very drivable at that ride height - do you know if there are any rubbing issues? Sorry to ask you so many questions but you posted some real attention grabbing photos if you're a wheel and tire guy and I am. Thanks Jack

No need to apoligize, on my car I've rolled the lips to gain clearance, and when I lower it more it's going to be tight. I won't really know until then and until it's drivable, but I am well clear of the shock and spring, and I have about a finger width or so to the wheel well. Nothing that a hammer can't massage.
On the Orange '69 I know his rears are 20x8 they sit really tucked up in the wells. He said he hasn't tried carving the corners too hard yet as he just got it on the road only weeks ago. I'd assume his wheels are about 5" BS, but I would have to ask him. He said nothing about rubbing. He got the 8" to be sure he wouldn't run into any rubbing problems. Fronts he's running 18x8's with 245-40-18 and rears 20x8 with 275-???-20
On the 68 I really don't know alot about the car. I have to talk to him more to get any more info on it.
I'm big on pics too, and when I get some more worthwhile progress done on my car I'll post the pics. The LS1 & T56 are just about ready to be installed. I'll update you guys then.
