    im not a fan of the tucked in look under the fenders, so having said that, im gonna lower my 85 2 inches all around and grab some 1.25 wheel spacers. my question is will i have problems with my fenders and tires even after i install stiffer shocks and anti sway bars,or am i gonna have to be stuck with a look im not happy with? will i have to modify the wheel wells?and will lower profile tires correct this problem? any one else run into this same scenario?:verdict_in:

    It really depends on what size rim and tire you plan on running.I am running 15s with a neg offset that stick out beyond the fenders it doesn't rub but its close.I have a two inch drop and about three in the front[​IMG]

    What wheels do you want to run on?




    I got 10" wide wheels with 1.25" spacers. I'm not "sunken".

    I too am running 1.25 spacers on a 15x8 rim that originally had a 20mm offset with about a 2-3 inch drop. No fender issues either

    It rides on a custom air suspension. When aired out, it sits tucking the tires on both front and back. When aired up, front has about 4" of clearance. Rears have about 10" of clearance.

    How did you do the rear fenders. That looks great! Please post some pics if you have any of the rear fender mods.
