Hello all I’ve been pretty busy working on the Customline over the last couple of months with wiring, 4 wheel disc brakes and suspension work . I recently had a chance to pickup some 255&275 /40/18 Toyo tires and whistler rim for a great price so I figured what the heck . The rear fits as perfectly as one could ask . The front offset is off a little but a couple of spacers will work . Planning to drop the front 2.5 “ -3” to get that rake , I’m old school and have to have it .
Nice car, looking good. At least one member here with a 56 found the combination of Granada Spindles and Aerostar spring to be too low. I think he was about at your 2.5-3 post drop. So you might watch that. Same in the back. Inner fender, and sometimes the rear springs. I know the rear clear comes up quite a bit in discussions. But all depends on your driving conditions. Enjoy the ride.
Thanks for the kind words , I flipped the shackles in the rear and the front I am just changing springs with 2” spacers to get the rim off spindle .
