Thanks!

Why would you think the turning circle was reduced? The tire to frame clearance would be the only limiting factor. Pictures are sometimes deceiving, it should do fine on the street.

Because that seems typical of a big front tire on a mustang - and yes the pictures make it look like there isn't a lot of room. I know its a completely different suspension design though.

I'm interested to see the finished fender on the car and the wheel at full lock. I guess thats the other trick though - will the front fenders be flared as well?
