Do you need a lift kit to put 26 inch rims on a 87 caprice?

Answer 1

Installing 26-inch rims on a 1987 Caprice typically requires a lift kit or modifications to the suspension to prevent rubbing and ensure proper clearance. The larger rims can interfere with the wheel wells, especially during turns or when hitting bumps. A lift kit will raise the vehicle enough to accommodate the larger tires, providing a smoother ride and preventing potential damage. Consulting with a professional is recommended to assess the specific requirements for your setup.
