So, do the wheels rub or not? You do want your wheels closer to the fender lip than the inner fender. How does your suspension articulate?

Is that about right?

Darren

That's EXACTLY RIGHT.

That's what I've been asking too Todd, and he says they don't....

because what we recommended, although doesn't rub, isn't the widest you could have gone.

As long as your customers understand that your objective is NOT to maximize the rear wheel width but to make sure it "doesn't rub" I think they are making an informed decision on purchasing wheels from you.

I want to know what the clearance is to this part of the upper fender (or the upper hump) as I referred to it... Your car has those crazy weird stock fender flares, but I doubt that at that part of the fender, you have any more clearance for that rear tire to travel up and not hit. And if so, then if you narrowed the rear end an 1" like you said you wanted to, how much room does that leave you to that point.

And I want to know how "swimming" is your wheel and tire to this part of your front fender at this ride height, at lock to lock.

I won't side with anyone here,because I don't know what's been done to that car, and frankly ,there is always 3 sides to every story,but I will say that usually if a company is in business to make parts that fit and have some sort of database for fitment within 1/16 of an inch tolerances,those parts should fit,period. The reason I say this, I'm dealing with CCW LM5 18X13 wheels & 345/35 combo I bought from CCW, I wasn't planning to cut and widen the $10k widebody kit 2 more inches to fit these under the rear of a car,I can handle the extra work,but honestly I did not sign up to do the extra $2k worth of work when I ordered custom wheels, they even sent me the center of the wheel to get clearance for the brake calipers and best offset/backspacing.

I also wouldn't want a mild cam,just because it fits,when I want the nastiest cam. That's my .02c

You've got Bruning's phone number. Ask him. I'm a disgruntled customer & a liar so you shouldn't trust anything I say. Come to think of it, it's not that your recommendation was off, it's this crazy one off custom vehicle of mine.

in the pics with the front suspension loaded the fronts don't seem to be sunk in like that (granted its not a down the side profile). then in the pics show how you dont like the fitment they seem to have no load on them is that correct?

I believe that's an optical illusion. I'll try to get Bruning to post on this thread---he took the pics.
