Tires hitting...

hey there peoples.. k i have 15x10s wiht 275 60's on em n when i go around turns they hit the corner lip of the wheel wells at the top.. the car was origionally a six banger auto but now has a 350 with a th350 behind it.. im thinking it might still have v6 springs but im not sure.. are the tire/rim's just too big for the car or is it just ****ty springs? also the car has excessive wheel hop if you attempt a burnout and bottoms out on everything.... would replacing the springs with stock z28 springs solve this problem? any suggestion would be appreciated.. thanks!

you can still use the 15x10" rims, but you must go down to a 55 series tire. also installing Z-28 springs will help too.

Installing any stock springs out of one of these cars is a mistake. They are all over 10 years old now, and are worn out.

Go get a set of new rear springs. Use Moog CC635. They cost less than $75 and take less then 20 minutes to put in, in the driveway with hand tools.

What exactly are the Moog CC635's? Are they Z-28 replacement springs....are they lower?

As far your wheel hop, try Spohn relocation brackets and some new LCA's.
