    Heidt's used to sell some tubular control arms that were a little shorter so wider tires would fit under the fenders

    The Heidt's are 5/8 narrower per side. Another alternative is a set of "shallower" hubs and rotors, look at ECI brakes for examples. Another option is to check with Rocket and see if the offer custom offsets by special order.

    I'm with REG's, don't screw up the car because of wheel fit.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
