i was converting to LSC brake setup and i fucked up and bought 275\40\17 BFG drag radials and they are going to seriously dig into the fenders. instead of buying 245s i was thinking of ordering axles that are approx. 1/2 inch shorter(which might be stock mustang length) and spacing the calipers back to compensate. on stranges website stock replacement axles are 239 for a pair. are custom length axles more money?

i am fucking retarded

 

i dont see how u can space the calipers back that far...

 

roll your fenders, LSC setup is 3/4" wider per side I recall

 

i didnt have too much time to look at it but i 'think' i can move the caliper mounting bracket to the inside of the adapter that bolts to the axle housing - though it may pull the rotor too far in. by the time i got the front converted and set the car down to see how close it was we were closing up so i am just going by memory.

mars - they fenders are rolled, its not close

 

what rims are you running? S197 rims have a deeper offset, that may help and save you some headache.

 

saleen speedlines. on my 88 saleen they came with 235/45/17s, i think the 275s are just too wide. i may have to go down to a 245 nitto but i HATE mounting tires on these rims. it peels the clearcoat off which makes me want to strangle someone.

ill take a closer look tommorow to see what i can do.

 

I have 275 drag radials on my lowered fox with the cobra wheels in my sig. the passenger side hits, the drivers does not. i had to beat the shit out of the wheel well lip to compensate.

 

steve...if you got some adjustable uppers you could pull the rearend to teh side and square it up...

 

the front wheels are hitting the coilovers. thats just fucking funny right there. looking for gas and lighter as we speak!

 

Well if you're gonna burn it why not give it to me
