Unless you shave A-arm, 16" wheels will not fit, even after than, wheels might rub against the brakes.

You need to shave or hammer in the top of the control arm and you will be okay. Most all of us drag racers have done that and run 16 on the rear.

ya, even the hammer wont make them fit, you must file some of the knuckle and ball joint cap on the top of the spindal..

Hammering works most of the time on CCW's. It takes more (grinding) on Fbod and C4 wheels. see here
