How to prepare the 4th gen firebird for 28x10.50s?
currently on stock rear springs with no upper rubber isolator, lips already rolled, air bags in both, adj lower control arms, adj TA...
I'm going to test fit and see, but what will I have to do to make it work (i've done the searches to no avail) on my 93 Formula?
Thanks

Any tips?
spacer would clear the front but make the rear worse...gosh, somebody has the key to making this work...

I honestly backed off the 28x10.50s...broke them down yesterday and am selling them, keeping the 15x10s, going to be in search for a slightly smaller tire. It is what it is...my camaro ss wouldn't have had this extreme problem fitting bacause of how the bumper is shaped. However, this formula had the front and rear scrubbing even after the BFH mod to the inner well...could turn the tire at all. I would have had to cut the rear bumper to the outside..not just inside even with the LCA fully adjusted in. Found out I need LCA relocation brackets to move them enough...but even if I could move them further up...already scrubbing up front.
Thanks for the info!
this pic is w/ the jack under the diff...so close to ride height...and won't spin...scrubs up front and on rear bumper.
