68 camaro 19" rear with 2" lowering blocks

Does anyone know how the car will sit with this set up?

I guess the tire to fender reference is best...will it be right at the fender? Tuck tire? have a one inch gap etc etc.

Either way I have no choice since this is the set up I have and the wheels are on its way but a 4 link is around the corner.

You should be in the ballpark but without knowing exactly how your car sits now, your spring rate, old springs, new springs, how big your current tire diameter vs the new tire diameter, it's like your wife calling a salon she's never been to and asking if she'd look better with short hair or long. The good news is that blocks are easy to switch out or trim to fine tune the ride height.

Some quick measurements and some basic math will get you where you need to be. If the car has wheels on it now, measure to the fender lip and subtract 2 and then compare the new od vs the current od. If you have no wheels now, figure a 27" ballpark od and take some measurements using the axle as your centerline.

Thanks for this info Jason. I'm going to try it out.

Are you hoping to keep it at that height? I like it where it sits right now.

Oh wow that's perfect! I think my 19's will look similar with maybe a little tire tuck. Thanks for that picture man :thumbsup:

Before that pic, I had no idea what it would look like.

Hi, that car looks great.

Can you tell me the widths and backspace you have there and what tire?

These are 19x10 w/275 tire on rear of my 67. Didn't have blocks, but hotchkis 1.5" lowering springs. Should be close to your 2" blocks.
