275/60/15 How much more can I safely drop? (pics)
I am going for a little bit of lowered stance. I am cutting half a coil or maybe one coil on the fronts with 215/60s and then on the back, I have 275/60/15s and would like to bring it down just a little more.
I am not sure on the backspacing, It's been awhile since I first got them. I will be measuring it soon. I think it's 4.5" I am installing Spohn LCR brackets so I hope that will help keep it from bottoming any more than it has to at the track.
It has worn out 84 Z28 springs in the rear. I may be getting a slightly smaller tire in the future depending on which drag radials I get. Some brands don't have a 275/60/15 size. Here are a few pics. If I drop it just a bit, do you think I could roll the lip and be safe from it bottoming out? After I install drag radials, I will probably be running 16" Irocs in the offseason.

I stupidly forgot to add that I laid a 6 ton jack in the trunk for that pic to see how far it went down. I might be considering 255/60s in order to clear and have the stance I want.

I was wondering why the tire was so close to the fender because Mine has more clearance than that but i also have stock size tires (215/65/R15)

What size rim are you running? I'm looking to get some Weld Pro Stars and mounting some DRs in that same tire size.
