How much space do you have?
How much space do you have? I have run into alittle trouble. I don't seem to have but about a 1/2" of clearance between the side of the offset control arm and the sidewall of the tire. 
I am going to run 29.5 x 10.5 M/T stiff walls and 295 radials, but I am concerned about the lack of space. Where did I go wrong?
I have:
a 9" rear narrowed 3.5" per side
Wolfe "offset" control arms
Weld 15 x 10 rears with 5" b.s.
Are the control arms the trouble?HELP!!!!

I keep the springs in stock but you need a 10", the 8 will be too short.

Madman...thanks, I already have 10" springs in there, I just thought I could lower alittle more like Brady. She is pretty low already.

Any lower and the tire will hit the top of the factory tub.

If you lower the adjustable spring perches all the way with the 29.5" X 10.5 " tire, with your mini tub and 10" springs you will rub the top of the new wheel well. I had to turn my adjustable spring perches about 6 to 8 full turns to get it to stop rubbing.
I also had to trim the fender lip to lower the car where I wanted it. My car is lowered as far as it can go with the 29.5" tire.
Strech the wheel well opening too.
Your mini tub work looks great. Good job man.
