Areas to watch for signs of tire/wheel contact are; tire inner sidewall to subframe under full lock steering, wheel inner to stock upper control arm during full lock steering, tire outer sidewall to fender lip especially on 1969 models.".

While it's obvious that X has anything BUT a stock suspension how was an 18x9 wheel shoe-horned in there and not rub?

Incidentally, how frickin' cool would it be to see a comparison of the Mark/Charley cars? I for one would love to see how a no-expense-spared car like Mule would compare to a "simpler" car like X!!!!!!!!!! Getting Mark to drive each car not only for the consistency but also his driving ability and familiarity with each car and you've got one for the ages. Anybody feel like doing some butt-kissing???
When camaro X was built it did have a stock subframe modded with ATS goodies so that is probally why the tire width?
