This photo was taken soon after we got the orange car. It's got 14X7 wheels with 245/60/14's out back and 225/60/14's up front. Little wheels, lot's of tire. It's still set at the same ride height.

A little tire rub never bothered me. If the tires don't rub, that tells me I can lower the car a bit more, and I do.

Opentracker,

Do you have the vario-camber kit on the front of the '65?
Doesn't that also provide a little extra wheel clearance as shims are no longer needed?

In the track photo, the car didn't have the vario kit. It does now though. The car runs a lot of camber on the track, that helps a lot.

No need to do anything with the old holes.
The shock tower will not be weakened by the new holes.
