    This is a traditional forum. Thats why your question pissed some people off. Traditional hot rods and customs. Yes it can be done . You need to contact a custom wheel dealer in your area. I'm sure he can help.

    you shoulda read the rules before posting... this forum is for traditional hot rods... not cars with donks... people here are very protective of this forum... i am surprised this thread wasn't deleted...

    I agree... 18's(even steelies) don't belong on that car... nothing larger than 15's...

    nope just 5 leave springs and lift shackles ... i still have regular schacle so i can drop it back down .. i can just block the back but the front they might make a lowering coil ... just afraid that tires will bow out and wear the inside tread faster then the rest of the tire

    I think if you take the lift shackles out and put it back where it belongs, it would like right... and since it is 4-lug, leave the 14's... maybe get some steelies with spider caps or something... I personally am not a fan of lowering cars, but it's your car... have fun with it...

    No problem... just remember to have thick skin when visiting this forum and if you ask for an opinion, you will get it... sometimes will get it when you don't also...

    Have fun with the falcon...
