Default Clearance question

Here's the deal. I ordered a set of 305/ 50 - 20 sneakers for the buggy.

Here's the question: With factory 20's will I have any issues with clearance in the front? If so, will the coil spacers clear it up?

I already have a set of drop shackles for the back (Not installed yet) to level it out but will change gears and use coils in front if necessary.

Then I will be selling the drop shackles...

305/50/20 is actually one size smaller than stock 33" in height. No problems at all. a 275/60/20 is a taller tire than the 305/50. Even if your lowered you shouldn't have any issues. a 305/50 is 1" wider and 1" shorter than stock.

Thanks. Here's a stupid question: How did you put your truck pic in your signature block?

For the sig, I shrunk the original down to 20% in Paint program under "Image" and scroll down to resize/skew. Both 20%. Then go under User CP and download.
For ALL other pics that you would insert into any post, I use Photobucket and the [img]url using the Earth link button at the top of this message box. Then you can load as many pics in a thread as you want.


p.s. not a stupid ?

They work just fine on a 2wd 2003 Lonestar.
