Wheel offset for C Clip Eliminators

[Sieg]

The majority of these cars differ dimensionally for one reason or another so take fitment feedback accordingly. My inner rear wheel clearance is tight and I can get a little sidewall contact in faster undulating high speed corners. Leaf springs without allow some lateral movement. I've clearanced the contact points including new tail pipes and wouldn't say it's a safety issue, but on certain tracks it could be. Ideally mini tubs are the proper way to fit this size tire.

For the wife's cruiser you should be fine, but you'll need to watch it. Make sure the rear end is sitting square and centered in the spring and then test drive with a full tank and maybe a little weight in the trunk and pull the wheels and check for contact points.

Rear drum brakes are fine for street use they just don't dissipate heat well or look cool. If I had to do it all over I'd trade rear disc's for the C-clip set up. I've seen enough high horsepower cars utilizing none C-clip axles on track with no issues to support my opinion. I wouldn't cheap on the axles though.

I've heard opinions that the c clip eliminator is a moot point with disc brakes anyway, because the disc brakes would supposedly hold the axles in the housing if they broke. I don't know if that's true, but I don't think our Camaro will be driven hard enough break axles any time soon anyway. If we do decide to start getting crazy with it, we'll put a 9" under it. Right now I just want to get it on the road so I can start a pro-touring build on my Mustang.
