part 2
As you can see it really doesn’t fit well. The fender sits on tire when the wheel is turned.
What you can’t see is the rear of the tire hits the frame rail long before I reach lock on the steering wheel. I would probably have to do a 3 point turn when taking a right at a stop light if I left it this way.
I’ve said in another thread and will say it in this thread - I don’t see how you stuff that much tire into the fender well with a stock subframe. There just isn’t enough room to make it work.
The only options I have at this point are:
1)New wheels and smaller tires upfront
2)Raise the car 0.5”-1” and hope I can clear the fender and just live with the mile wide turning radius
With option 2 I think I still may have to get stiffer springs in order to keep the tire from riding up into the fender while turning over a large rise in the road (aka turning into a parking lot)
