Birth of the Blue Missile

what size rim do you have on there? and what backspacing? I'm miffed because Ross's 17" w/5.25" backspacing cleared..lock to lock...and you have a larger diameter rim???

Wilwood has a shim/spacer shaped like their brake pad...I saw them at the Jegs site when I was looking for shims to center up my caliper on the rotor, those shims were suppose to be in the kit(?)

a regular tie rod end will give you additional clearance from the rim. I use the FatMan Fab extended ends to keep the tie rod parrallel with the lower control arm thereby eliminating bumpsteer. By using the shorter (std) tie rod end you may encounter a slight bit of bumpsteer...but minimal and maybe worth the tradeoff (we are talking less than 1/2" diff in lenght)

you could easily space the rack rearward as long as it does not run into your oil sump
