I go back and forth about doing a notch on my 87 G...a 275/60/15 with a 8" wheel, 4" backspace fits fine with a rolled lip. The desire to go to a 295 or a 315 exists but we see that a 275 goes low 4s and well into the 7s . Also,with a big tire the rear needs to be strong as well to survive,imho. A big tire does look cool though.
@@brianmathew09 I’ve still got some room on fender lip. But I do have drop coilovers. I can roll fender if needed. I’m trying to avoid a notch I just don’t think I can at this point
i have the same set up on a 275 ona 9”, rolled lip too . i’m notchin to try and attempt that 315 ! but i don’t have the tires for it yet . figured it’s best to attempt when i have the 315 tire on rim to test fit i might have to cut trunk wheel wells
@@betosgarage Since this post, 2yrs ago, some things i found and should be considered ...all that rotating mass is a sizeable weight to turn and will slow the car down nless you have some serious Hp to haul it. I know it looks cool af but cars making 7-800 whp can make a 275/60/15 as fast.
Forgive me if someone else made the suggestion or you're done with this part but could you swap the lives that were cut out from left to right to use the sweep of the frame? I'm getting ready to do the same and wasn't sure if it would work.
I know it's a little late now but, if you would have cut both sides the same. you could have used each other side fliped and they would have durved the correct way....just saying
I don't have personal experience doing it but I have seen a lot of people do it that way. There are several companies that sell the kits where you can cut the outside off and weld in a new piece if you don't want to use the factory frame section to weld back in.
