I have a stock suspended 86 gt.I put some 15" weld drag lights not sure on the width I'm assuming 9" or 10" with 275/55/15 bf goodrich ta drag radials.Everything fits fine,Just seems to rub on outer wheel well in rear.Could this be caused by worn springs and shock?Or do I need to get fenders rolled?Not rubbing on quad shocks just outer wheel well.thanks for any help or suggestions.

no its probably the BS compared to the width
do you know how to measure ? BS is the distance from the mounting base to the edge of the inner rim, you can use a straight edge and measure from the mounting base. tires need to be off, or you need to account for them
you want 5 1/2" for correct offset on a 10" tire and a 8 1/2" rim

Yea probably stiffer springs and the right back spacing.Lee helped me out with rolling the fenders.Came out great has not rubbed since.its all original suspension.Going to lower it a little with stiffer springs.thanks for the input.
