Scott, I think 315's is as wide as I want to go up front. If I go 335's up front I will have to do the same for the rear and I dont want to relocate leaf's. Thanks though, looking forward to getting your subframe some time in the near future.

Did you move the shocks in?

The transformation is complete. Finally got my R888 315's delivered and the Z06 wheels on all four's. I had to cut the rear wheel studs for the hubcentric adapters so I will be pulling axles to install correct length studs.

Shocks were moved in-board but still on the outside of the frame rails.

Car looks great with those wheels. What size front tires?

I sure would like some pictures of the shock installation if you get a chance. I've been trying to figure out the shock location problem before I start a mini-tub project on my '69. I was wanting to go as large as possible without relocating the springs.

Have you had a chance to "push" the cornering to see if the 315's rub on the springs?

Your not going to be able to corner the car and not rub quarter panel without rolling lip and adding a watts link. I'll take some pics of shock mount outside of frame rail and post them tomorrow.

My quarter's are rolled already. I'm running a 275/35/18 on the rear now. I thought a Watts link might be needed. What control arms, etc are you using to run 275's on the front? Do you have the turning radius limited a lot?

Thanks,
Gary
