I would like to do the same, but don't know how to adjust the torsion bars.
I just bought some 18x9 wheels, and with the the 285/60/18 tires, it might need a little lifting (trimming to the cladding has been done!).

Thanks,

What OFFSET are the 18x9 rims you got? Stock is +38, (I'm sure this time ) so the farther away you go from that (toward zero), the more trimming and BFH work you'll need.

My aftermarket rims were 18x8 with -2 offset, and required a TON of trimming and BFH work (to move the bolt in the rear of the front wheel well back some) to get 265/60-18s to fit. EVEN MORE will be needed to get your 285/60s to fit.
(But there's one member that has the -2 with 285/60s- RAZ - see pics in his gallery)


GPA-
The 285/60-18s will fit with NO LIFT, and very minimal trimming. MANY of us, have run this size on the stock 18" rims.

285/65-18s - those are over 1" taller than 60s (31.5" vs. 32.6") so that will make a difference.

Here's a great webstie to compare tires sizes with a visualizer.:

But just as a point of reference to start, here's trimming to fit 285/60-18 on OEM RIMS:
NO TB cranked, and NO lift, NO special springs or spacers etc.

Since these are hand made cars, we've heard several instances where people encounter slight variances and tolerances, so you may have a slightly larger or smaller piece to cut, etc.

Stock everything with 285/60-18 tires:
