    What size are your rims and what backspacing are they?
    If your 255/60-15 rear tires are rubbing on the quarter panel lips I'll bet the offset on the rims is not right or your car is sitting really low.



    Yes, my car is sitting really low.  Great for improved handling but both tire and ground clearances are reduced.

    Love them old school slots on that car.  Stance is perfect.

    Man, if I was banging those headers on the ground, I'd get some shortie headers.  I'd rather lose a couple HP than to lose that perfect stance by jacking the car up.

    I actually did this on another car and got sick of scraping the collectors and bending them all the time. The shorties are awesome and make plenty of clearance so I'll probably do this for my build.

    I've got this exact combo of hard parts on my 74 Challenger on the previous page. I did move the springs in 1" per side as well. However, I'm using the Mickey Thompson SR tires in 26x12x15.  My tires are 26" tall, 12" section width with 10.6 tread width. The N50s are almost 28" tall, 12.65 section with 11.3 tread width. So you are going to be a bit over a 1/4" wider per side and an inch taller into the wheel well. Tight fit, but possible. You might rub up inside the well if  you carry a full complemenet of passengers or going over speedbumps, steep driveways, etc.

     Will 4" backspace work ok on a 71 Cuda on 15x8 wheels? I am about to place an order ASAP. Appreciate all feedback!
