What tire sizes will clear
All, I just bought a set of 15" wheels for my 69 cutlass. What tire sizes will clear without rubbing? Will a 235 60 15 work on the front and the rear? Right now Im sitting on original springs (seem pretty low), but plant to change out to a 1" hotchkiss drop spring.

have any pics?
Do you have a picture? Im interested in what stock height looks like with that combo. I am considering an eibach set of springs, which will drop it about 1.3 inches.

Well, I can take a picture. The springs are fairly new (<2 years old), but the rear end sags. I think it has something to do with the poly bushings in the rear. They aren't bonded to the outer shell or inner sleeve like the original rubber ones. The car probably sits about 1.5 to 2 inches low in the rear (working on fixing that, maybe some airbags...), but the front sits fine. Maybe I'll just lower the front. I'll get picture this weekend and post it or something...

Decided
I decided to go with an Eibach pro kit and some KYB GR-2 shocks. Got the whole combo for 317 bucks from Jegs. The GR-2s are cheaper, but supposedly have a softer ride than the Gas A just. I dont want to feel like Im riding in an OX cart!
