Nice looking 18s on this '73 Sport

I mean, the tallest factory tire was like what, 25” tall?

So yeah to the bodywork probably only around an inch or so lower. But I can’t shave the lower bumpstops down anymore, at full compression a 26” tall front tire would bottom out at the top of my inner fender. To get the body lower I’d have to run shorter tires. Or completely rework all the sheet metal.
...and it probably wouldn't handle any better.
