Well, the subframe shoud be fine. Stock but with reinforced welds everywhere and all straightened out.

We are pretty sure the wheel size is wrong. We ordered a 18x9.5 with a 5.5 BS. I calculated that based on a ton of research and seeing guys make this work on a stock subbed 68 with aftermarket control arms. I know I will lose a little bit of turning radius but not that much to be a prob. Our measurements show the wheel is 1/2 to 1 inch off - like they took an 11 inch well and cut it short instead of taking a 10 and cutting it to 9.5 like we asked. We are sending it back now.

Front tire size is 275/35/18 FYI.

thanks
