Thanks,
I have a full minitub with 2.5" wide 10" afco springs and adjustable cups, narrowed LCA brackets, Offset Lower control arms with the front moved to the inside of the subframe with custom bracket. Madman Shock relocation and the bottom of the shock tabs have been removed. With a 5" or 4.5" BS wheel i could have saved myself a lot of headaches. Check with your local Custom hotrod/wheel shop to see if the have the wheel fitment tool so you get the right spec'd wheel.
I did the same thing fireball did i just rolled the inside of the front fender and beat on the inside with a BFH and cut the rear of the bumper to make it fit properly.

awesome. I got 2 answers for the price of one!
I went out to the garage tonight and did some measureing, looks like if I narrow the lca brackets up and remove the offset bushings on the houseing side only, to put the lca's in a slight angle, they SHOULD clear the wheels. Then if looks like I need to cut down the driverside spring/lower panhard bracket to clear the wheels.....did you have this issue?
Did anyone have to modify the upper panhard bracket on the "cars passenger side"??
Ifso is a standard lenght panhard rod ok?
sorry for all the questions, I just want to get ALL the research done before I hack the car up
