    I'm running 245.40-20 and wrote the KB article on lowering. Use a tire size caclulator to see if your tires are much bigger and that will help a little.

    Why does it matter if the car is a V6 or not? you'd likely get more input if you opened it to all 300's that have 22's and have been lowered.

    because the springs are different due to the lighter engine ....

    Interesting. On the Magnum, the same spring kit is used for all.

    I have the 2.7 (which total weight difference is less than 100lbs ) with 22's on Eibach PRO's I can almost get 2 fingers between the tire and fender..NEVER rubs and rides great!

    Ok, that was a photochop. Here are real pics of a lowered 3.5 Magnum.

    Before:


    and after:


    I used Goldlines though, but the drop should be very similar to the ProKit.
