Posted by Paul P Also, another thing to consider... I believe you can use mid 70s' Caprice front springs. These have the same wire diameter, load capacity, and proper ends to fit in our control arm/frame pocket... just they are 1" shorter. I can look up where I found this if I have some time. Also.. 245x689? What's that mean? I know a 295 50 15 will fit with proper back spacing.

By barely clearing, I mean, before an alignment and with mudflaps, they rubbed in turns. After an alignment and losing the awful chrome mudflaps the P.O. put on the car, They clear the fenders. Now that I think about it, on one "Stupidly Massive Speedbump" that I took wayyyyyyyy too fast, and managed some air :-x, the fronts rubbed... I think. I never saw any marks.. but, it made a not-too-friendly noise. I never saw scuff marks anywhere, however. Take that for what it's worth.
