OK guys, I'm sure you've all heard this question asked before but since it's time for a wheel and tire upgrade I figure it's my turn to ask and reap some of the experience (pro and con) of my fellow Birdheads
I'm going from a stock 225x60x16 hopfuly, to a 255x45x17 w/ 17x9 polised SVT Cobra wheels. (T-bird specific)
Also going to install the Eiabach pro kit thats been sitting in the garage, to drop the car 1.5 inches (according to Eiabach).
So my questions are:
1) Will this tire and wheel combo be close to the 26.6in height of the factory setup?
2) Will there be any clearance problems front or rear primarily front when steering wheel is turned lock to lock?
3)With this width tire and wheel and 1.5" drop, will there be a wheel lip clearance problem?
4) If my choice of tire size is off, which tire size will come closest to the stock height.
Any info you guys can provide will help.
Thanking you all in advance,
Ron.
