Can anyone tell me if there is any fitment issue, ie. tire clearance with the quad shock with a '95 17" x 9" R wheel with 275/40s? I'm lowering it with H&R Sport springs, about an 1". Any quarter panel clearance issues either? I'm getting them mounted on Wednesday and would like to see if anyone else has these.
Thanks.

Thanks a lot, I didn't want to mount them and find out there was a problem. I already sent back a set of 255/40s. I originally wanted to go with them all around, but they wouldn't have worked in the front.

Hey budd no issues hear i am running 275's on the same make of rime and tire size but the only diff. is running 18's but know issues hear just when i make a sharp turn in the rear and going over a bump in the road i get a slight rub but took care of that by betting the inner body on the inside just a tad and took care the problem. so hope that helps.

Remove the quad shocks and you'll have nothing to worry about. You don't need them anyway.

As stated, if you have installed aftermarket control arms and springs, then you won't miss the quad shocks.

Also, I run 255/40/17s on all around on my '90 and have no rubbing issues at all. I am using H&R race springs.
