Default Re: 67 , convert, new rims hit fenders on sharp turns

There are 2 versions of the coil spring isulator. The thin one doesn't raise the ride height. The other one is 1 inch thick and so raises the ride height one additional inch. That's the cheapest and easiest way to help the tire rubbing problem.

The best way, IMHO, is to use 620 springs, good shocks, and thin insulators with the correct back spaced rims. That allows me to use 215/60/15 radials with no rubbing. That's also with 1/4 coil cut out of the springs to lower it an additional inch in the front.
