Your wheel just isn’t deep enough. This is a 17x8 and 245/45-17 with ‘75 A-body spindle and the Cordoba rotors. No fender modifications and has wheel molding. Must run the shorter (no dome) Moog upper ball joint and there is about 1/2” clearance to the outer tie rod. Wheel barely clears over the grease fitting on the upper ball joint.

This is an 18x9 with a 255/40-18 AND a spacer. fits without a spacer also. can easily do 9.5” or 10” wheel with same offset and a 275/35-18 or a 285/35-18. These tires are in the 26” diameter range and require trimming the front edge. I have also rolled the lip and cleaned it up. The big difference is that the 18” wheel can go deeper because it clears the outer tie rod.
