Hey Everyone, looking for some advice. I just picked up a 1967 Chevelle Malibu project car and I am having trouble figuring out the right tire and suspension combo for it. Currently the engine is not in the car which makes it more difficult to see finished vehicle height.
The car came with 15x8 American Racing wheels, with 235/70/R15 tires both front and rear. The front coils were cut and doing literally nothing for the car, the rear coil springs are very worn and paired with air shock absorbers. I purchased some Moog 5372 front coil springs, got them installed and oh boy was it jacked sky high! Zero suspension movement and a solid 3 inches between the fender and those giant front tires!
I was thinking that the front tires will have to be brought down from a 70, to probably a 60. Though I really need some advice on suspension to get that perfect stance front and rear. Ideally having the fender just barely cover the top of the tire.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Attached is my vision for the finished product of my Chevelle and the stance that I am going for. Thank you all
