I have a 81 and just put 275 60 15's on the rear with 10 inch rims and the wheels are sitting inward is there a adjustment on the rear springs ?

DUB

There is only one spring...and it is a transverse spring.

AND it all depends IF you rolled the car forward and back about 10 feet or so, so the suspension would settle. IF you did... and the top of the tire is INWARDS....then...hopefully you can adjust it depending on the condition of some parts.

NO...there is no adjustment to the spring to correct this. This adjustment is done UNDER the rear differential where your strut rods are connected to the brackets attached to your differential....and are adjusted by the concentric bolts.

Hopefully your strut rod bushings are in good condition...and the end play of you side yokes allows you to get the tire adjusted as needed.

Hi s,
Here's a picture of the 'strut rod' and the eccentric bolt (at it's left end) that gives the adjustment that will hopefully help your problem.
The 'plate' on the bolt acts as a 'cam' and moves the bottom of the wheel/tire in and out as the 'cam' rotates.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan

Correcting = rear wheel alignment

DUB

IF when you roll the car and the wheels do not stand basically straight up and down...then the adjustments to the strut rods can be done at home to get them super close...BUT the car should be taken to an alignment shop that KNOWS about your ear of Corvette...so it can be aligned.

Keep in mind that if you have to drive a very long distance to get it aligned with new tires.,...you might want to get a roll-back and get it to the alignment shop that way. If the alignment shop is down the road...that is your choice to drive it or not drive it.
