How much can i lower my 63 if i have a 2 inch narrowed beam, stock fenders and stock size wheels and tires withouts rubbing??

you can drop it as much as the beam will let it come down, 2.5 inches. You need spindles to get it any lower, or pull some torsion leaves... hahaha. But it always looks a lot better if you get some nice 135s on a lowered car.

do you mean like rubbing? or just rubbing when you turn? The tires always rub when you turn, I have a hole in the back of my headlight bucket. It's awsome.

Ya thats what i mean. Im getting 2 1/2 in. drops and a 4 in. adustible beam. With the replica fuch wheels from mooneyes. Do you think i will have a prob?

the only problem i see is: some kid running stock,bent,rusty rims is gonna say "Fuchs are so played out" otherwise sounds trick..

Yeah, with stock tires crammed under there, you won't be able to turn. Get some 135s & you'll be alright. Sounds like a good plan, is the beam narrowed at all?

I've got a set of 195's 50 series r 15 in the front, they are low profile, (hankook's) when putting my spindles on, will there be a problem with rubbage? and if not when i put a beam on it, will there be rubbing then?

Fuchs are so played out.

That coming from a kid running non-stock, non-bent, non-rusty wheels.
