Default Mini tub and Panhard Rod Mount

I've been searching for awhile and still haven't seen an actual answer to this. I want to keep the stock type suspension and I am doing the Wolfe Mini Tub myself. It seems like the panhard mount on the passenger side will make you run a smaller width tire. Am I supposed to do some fabrication and move the bracket or will the 325 Wolfe says will fit work and still tuck?

with the proper back spacing it will not be a problem....

Mine is narrowed 3 inches per side, 15x10 with a 5 inch bs wheel. I have a 325/50 tucked under the fender.

My panhard rod mount on the passenger side has not been moved...BUT the mount on the drivers side on the rear end was moved inward and the panhard rod shortened.

I am moving my panhard bracket on the frame, you just cut off the lower part of it and weld on a new piece to the stock bracket so the hole sits flush with the tub.

I plan on running a 315 60 15 on a 12" rim and want mine to tuck as much as possible, most likely you'll have clearance issues with the lower control arms before the panhard bracket.
