I had a real hard time fitting a 18X8 with 245 on my stock subframe (74 Apollo) same surname. I have speedtech fax tall spindles, spc lowers, spc uppers and hotchkis springs. Wheels have I think 5" bs to pull them in enough to clear the fender wheel lip, but that created all kinds of issues on the back side. Had to flip the front shafts of the uppers backward to clear wheels on turn, and go with screw in b-joints to fit inside the wheel. Stock steering arms also contacted the wheel at the tie rod. And had to find the impossible to get 69 z28 short arms to just fit! May have to notch frame rails as it appears tires will rub at full lock front and back, also going to be real tight to fit a sway bar and not touch tire? Have not driven it yet, still just a roller.
