tires and lowering

I just put 16' wheels on my 87, and I got 205/55/16's...I was wondering if anyone that is lowered has this combo or knows if this combo would work without rubbing on a lowered 2nd gen...thanks for advice.

As far as I know, you should be fine. I know of one guy who has a 2nd gen with a 1.5" lowering like me, but is running 18's with 235/45/18's I believe, and he doesn't have any problems with rubbing. It's basically the tire you choose, but the with 16's, there shouldn't be any problem what-so-ever.

Well, I'm tempted to get some intrax springs.....and might sell mine....but I'm not sure. Your best bet is to go to www.shox.com, they should have em for about $160-170.
