This is a traditional forum. Thats why your question pissed some people off. Traditional hot rods and customs. Yes it can be done . You need to contact a custom wheel dealer in your area. I'm sure he can help.

[Royalshifter]

Why??

[PoopStain06]

Fuck Off

Yah... what he said!!

looks good as it is , maybe the ass is a little high , but it looks good..

[stillkruzn]

I agree... 18's(even steelies) don't belong on that car... nothing larger than 15's...

[35mastr]

Just leave it like it is.The car looks right on.Just needs a bit more in the lowering dept.

[breeder]

well, nevermind..you did it!!LOL
looks like ya need to lower it alot, and just drive her! why 18's? you have a pic of one with 18's???

[Evilfalcon1961]

yea i was going to do a straight axel but that will be in the future money is aways an issue .. owell thanks for the opinions guys .. open for more !

[Evilfalcon1961]

im afraid to cut the coils =)

[stillkruzn]

someone probably makes a lowering kit for that car... has the rear got air shocks or something putting the rear so high??

[J Man]

18's with a straight axle? What look are you going for?

[Evilfalcon1961]

nope just 5 leave springs and lift shackles ... i still have regular schacle so i can drop it back down .. i can just block the back but the front they might make a lowering coil ... just afraid that tires will bow out and wear the inside tread faster then the rest of the tire

[Evilfalcon1961]

18's with a straight axle? What look are you going for?
haha oh no i wouldnt do 18s with straight axel that wuld be if i lowered it but i guess they might be a bit too big beside i never lked rubber band tires

I think if you take the lift shackles out and put it back where it belongs, it would like right... and since it is 4-lug, leave the 14's... maybe get some steelies with spider caps or something... I personally am not a fan of lowering cars, but it's your car... have fun with it...

cool thanks alot man ... i always like to hear people opinons so i can fool around with my car and change it up thanks again!

[stillkruzn]

No problem... just remember to have thick skin when visiting this forum and if you ask for an opinion, you will get it... sometimes will get it when you don't also...

Have fun with the falcon...
