4 cyl. springs

I have what looks to be 4 cyl springs sitting in my garage. I have 17 inch wheels 245/45/17 on the car with factory height springs right now. Will these 4 cyl springs work on this setup with no clearance issues? Its a 89 LX.

My father's '92 GT has four cylinder springs on it and 245/45/17's. The tires do rub the against the inside of the fender in parking lots sometimes when making a quick turn(the front sway bar is removed so a quick turn in a parking lot = a bit of body roll that leads to the tires lightly kissing the inside of the fender). I'm not sure if the isolators were removed from his car or not.

Here's a picture of the car for ride height reference(don't mind the photo quality, photobucket compressed it horribly )

Of course, as with most things, ride height will vary from car to car for a number of factors...so the only sure way is to install the springs and check for clearance. This can be a bit of a pain if you find out that you don't have enough clearance...but springs aren't that hard to swap out on these foxes anyways(at least in my opinion).

My notch is a 4cyl to v8 swap...I retained all the stock 4cyl stuff....I used 94-95 Spindles for 5 lug conv. I have 17X8 Cobra wheels with 245-45-17. They fit and look great, very little gap between the fender and wheel. The car still handles well. They rub the K-frame on a full turn, like if you pull a Uy.
