Yearone Rally’s 17 inch on 69 Valiant- help

Gents,

I have seen 4 A bodies with the 17 inch year one wheels installed. I purchased them for my 69 valiant.

Rears 17x9 275 40 17- fit good

Fronts the offset is not enough and the 225 45 17 tire is basically almost flush with fender.

Now how come I seen a barracuda on here with 245s and another hotrod magazine Valiant with these and same tire combo up front with no issues..

Thoughts?

Stock v8 frame, rms upper control arms and strut rods. Disc conversion spindles from drum.

How else can I bring wheel spacing inward?
