Hello All,
Question for you guys. I am getting ready to pull the trigger on the front end rebuild on my 67 Ghia and am planning everything out. I think I want to go with some drop spindles with disc brakes on stock rims with 175/55-15 Tires up front and in the rear. I want to keep the stock beam width.
Am I going to have any rubbing issues up front or in the rear?
What else am I going to have to to in the back or even up front?
Thanks in advance for any help. |

you gotta use the search button
and i wouldnt use 175/55s in the rear
not big enough
its a lil more than 11% differance
you can but due to the tranny
IMO I wouldnt
you could maybe try coker for some 175/80s for the rear and do 75/55s for the front

| Depends on the rims you use. With my 175/55's on the front of my 1970 ghia, I had to adjust the steering stops to keep the wheels from rubbing at full lock. Otherwise there are no issues. |
