Default How much can you tuck the front tires in with a umi front setup?

Looking at getting the umi k-member and adjustable upper and lower a-arms. But I really would like to tuck the wheels in an inch or so. I know pa racing has narrowed a-arms, but it seems like the umi ones are built better. So how far can i tuck the wheels with the umi setup? Thanks

How long has he had the pa arms? street driven or race only? I guess the issue that I have with the pa arms is that every piece they use is thinner than the umi arms, plus you have to order the c/m versions to get the adjustment needed to use the narrowed lowers. I know they will save weight both being thinner and c/m, but not really an area I want to save weight on. I'd keep the stockers, but I like the way it looks tucked in further. Thanks

Hasn't drove the car with them yet, just finishing up his build.

I'm going purely off the appearance and how they feel holding them.

Everything lined up good, etc...

I wanted non-adjustables, so I went with PA Racing mild steel 1" short lowers and RaceCraft chromoly 1" short uppers. Car is still in the shop.
