maybe.. but the car looks great.. no need to get smaller tires.. and start lowering and doing all sorts of things.. to it..

I'd do the spindle change with stockers and call it good.. then you could control the height on the way down..

Crispy Creme says he has a pair.. I've told him to get with you (wayne) on it..

I'll look tonight also.. but Crispy may be faster for you.

Do you think your rubbing issues would be corrected going to a smaller tire? Smart Car tire?

That looked like a huge tire to be running up front.

I mentioned my amazement running that fat of a tire up front too. I have a set of stock spindles if you need them.

Also when talking with Crispy.. he said you asked about grinding on the caliper.. I had to a little bit with the car that had the stars that Chris has on now.. I will say spray the area with clear if you do.. it will rust there if not..

and it is a really small area to address..

but I assume you already know this.. ;)

I would go for the 155's.... they're a little shorter and give you more rubber on the road :thumbs:

I agree with Brian, I like 155s better than 145s. What width are the wheels?
