I have a 9 inch rim that i want to fit 275's on for my 89 vert... does anybody know if i will be able to fit them without having to roll the fenders or anything? Just wondering before i order them and realize i can't use them until i do something. thanks!

if you dont have it dropped rediculously low, you will need to either flip or remove the quad shocks.

rolling the fenders is just a smart thing to do.

+1. I got lucky on my 93. The lips were already rolled and the quads were already flipped. Quads will be gone as soon as spring comes and I can put some new upper and lower control arms on it.

As for rolling the fenders you could always try the baseball bat method but I would find a body shop that has the tool to do it and get it done. Not mandatory but would be nice for peace of mind.

anybody have an idea how much that would run me at a body shop? i know i could rent the tools and do it myself for 60.

I guess it all depends on the backspacing and all that (I'm no wheel/tire fitment pro)... But I have 17X9R/17X8F (275/40/17's on rear) Cobra Deep Dish staggered replicas on my 89 hatchback, with the QuadShocks removed and I have absolutely no rubbing. I even have CJPonyParts Sportline (Eibach Sportline) springs which drop it pretty low. Hope this helps?

It will depend on what wheel you are running. I have 275/40/17's on 98 GT wheels (only 8"wide though) with no rubbing issues after flipping the quad shock

alright, thanks everyone! I appreciate the help
