Well at one point everyone has to ask.

What is the average clearance you can get from doing this?

And thanks for the info!

Exactly, and I give ya a for not being scared to ask...some people would of probably flamed ya for not knowing.

honestly it is quite a bit of clearance what tires are you planning on running?

offset LCA's (lower control arms) help quite a bit too.

I had some MT 335/55/15 on my 3rd gen and loved the back view, but they stuck out 4" IIRC. What is the widest we can go in the read with BFH and a baseball bat.

I'm running 325/50/15's are about the widest without a mini tub

this would require adj panhard rod bar (to center the rear), offset LCA's, cutting the rear bump stops, and of course the BFH mod

here is a thread showing how close your getting...this car has a 11" narrowed rear however (not required)

https://ls1tech.com/forums/drag-raci...er-15x12s.html

here is my car on the 325's, moser 9" stock length, adj PHB, offset LCA's, BFH, rolled fenders (not required but recommend it), cut bump stops, had to grind the stock rear brakes to fit the 15's as well.

hope that helped!

I like the way it is riding with the edge of the fender, clean! do you have any rear shots down low to see the width of the tires? I like a lot of tread and little axle, lol.

Just got finished read that link you posted for me; I really like the way it came out, but seems like a lot of money to do all that. I think I will go the route you went, like I said, your setup looks real clean and with minimal work.

I have some 315 and they are where the stocks sat so i had to put it on the lift get a big mallet and hit it until it had enough room. I have no clearance issues.
