I don't have any good pictures like yours but I did do a quick shot with the coil overs aired down. I'm running stock sub frame, Kore3 short spindle 14" brake kit and hubs, the Ridetech True Turn kit, and 18x9.5s with 5.75 bs and 275/35/18s. (Edit: stock height body bushings)

I did turn the flange inside of the outer fender (for mounting the inner) straight up and split the inner fender in multiple places so as to stretch the inner fender to the shape I wanted. The bolt you see in your picture is horizontal now on mine and plenty of distance away from tires edge. The only bolts I felt needed removed was the bottom most rear bolt. The tires did seem to just touch it on both sides. I had mine set at 24.5" from floor to body line in middle of fenders. ( edit: this ride height was after airing back up. )

My only trouble has been figuring out what LS motor swap setup will work with the tie rod adaptor. I think I have that answered now. Todd suggested using the newest Holley motor plates, trans crossmember, long tube headers, and modifying the old 302-1 pan slightly to clear the adaptor.

I'll try my best to remember to get some better pictures.
