Here are few pics of my 83' SC recently fitted with 15" Fuchs refinished in the RSR finish by Harvey Weidman and shod with Toyo R1R 205/50 & 225/45

Looks sweet!

No tail, low, on 15s, that colour... Like a go kart ready to leave everyone in the dust on a twisty road. I even like the sugar scoops on this car. It's probably too low for optimum handling, but it looks F'ing awesome!

I like Harvey's RSR finish. He did mine and it's fantastic. And contrary to how I thought they'd be, they're even easy to keep clean. This makes me want to get some tires for my 15's...

Are you using any spacers on the rear? I have a 7/8 x 15 set I'm refinishing.

Looks great. How does it ride? Looking to have my spindles raised to accomplish ride quality.

The mechanic who lowered it once the 15's were installed did install spacers in the rear only, but I am not sure what size spacer was installed.

The ride is definitely on the stiff side and sometimes a bit harsh.

I already raised the front back up a little (shown in this picture) and am pretty sure I need to raise the rear back up as well to the same profile between the top of the tire and the fender.

I am debating going with a taller aspect ratio tire, or investigating other areas of the suspension that can be improved, bushings, shocks etc.... to help improve the ride quality.

I know that raising the spindles is a thing, but what exactly is it and what does it do? Would it help a car like mine running 15's with the size tires I am running? In particular the 50 & 45 aspect ratio.

Thanks

Those look great! I'm pretty sure my arrow blue coupe will be getting the rsr finish as well. Can you post a few close ups of the wheels please?
