    Big block Fenderwell header & tire clearance

    you cant run very tall of a tire with the fenderwell headers, probably worse if you ditch the backspace and move the tire out. problem is when you turn the wheels hard the tire will rub on the drivers header Bad. think my headmans were slightly better. think I ran 165r15's and they still...

    Opinion on thin wheel spacer on front wheel

    I ran a set on the front of the valiant ( 1/4" thick ) because the 15" wheels I was running hit the calipers ( have the larger 11.75 Cordoba rotors ). I always torque my lugs. never had an issue, I have since switched to 17" wheels.
