Multipart question:
71 Hardtop, H engine
Ultimately, my goal is to lower the car slightly, do 18x8's on the front, and 20x? On the rear.
So, here's the questions:
1. Do I just get the lowering springs for front and rear off eBay? What am I missing here?
2. The only springs I see on eBay are like a 1" drop. That doesn't seem like much, but maybe it's enough?
3. If I go with 18x8 on the front, what are the specs I need on the wheels? 4.5" backspace with 0 offset?
4. On the rear, I would like to do 20's, but I'm not sure what width I can fit or what backspacing and offset I'd have to have.
5. When it comes to tires, with the lowering of the car, what's my max overall height of the wheel/tire that I can fit? Someone was saying 28". Is that a STRICT 28", or would something like 28.5" fit? I have seen ppl say that 245's will fit on the front, and 315's on the rear, but idk if that's with it being slightly lowered.
Sorry for the extended question, but I look forward to any help I can get on this. Thanks!!
