Clearance issues
I've got a '68 Firebird I just put tubular upper and lower control arms and 2 inch drop spindles on. After dropping the car back down on the ground my front tires are on the top inside of my fenders. Right now I have 15 x 7 rims with 235/60r15 tires and 3 1/8 backspacing. I tried putting new coil springs on and that got me about a finger worth of clearance. Do I need to get smaller rims or just smaller tires? Any advice would be appreciated!

The question is how does it ride and does it rub.Is the car drivable?
Visually it might look close but may not rub...'67 Buick Skylark GS400 funny car "Ingenue" 8/10 HRM / Gasoline (Swedish) cover & feature 2/12

Its not drivable. My drivers side is sitting on the fender without me in it but the passenger has about a half inch clearance.
