A-Bodies...Big Motors / New Hemi Duster - FINAL ASSEMBLY

Ross.........I guess the biggest difference in our wheel tubs is yours are 32" and mine are 36"...looking at the build of my silver Duster, you will notice I left the rear of the wheelwell stock and did the enlargement (stretch) forward...on the inside I started where the stock tub attached in the trunk and went forward 36"...the on the outer skin, I streched the wheel opening 3" by removing a 3'' section appx !'' behind the door. there is a picture of that modification in this thread (page 5 post 98) .there are 3 main reasons for stretching it forward 3 "....1)fuel fill and trunk hinge remain intact..2)axle now 1 1/2" further forward allows the needed additional room for the coilovers and still use stock fuel tank...3)w/axle further ahead...GREAT weight transfer...mini-altered.

where I have my tires placed in the wheelwell...I have about 1 1/2" in front...3" in rear...1 1/2" to the framerail...1 1/8" to the inner lip

How much tire clearance is the minimium?....for me it as much about the look... as the "not rub" issue....I've seen some run so close they are rubbing
