edit... thats an impressive tire under that thing.. i cant go quite that wide as i am tucking a few inches of rim.
on a second thought, you should come by, and let me see if i can fit your wheels under my setup..  |
Domer, I live in Bonita and work in La Jolla. I did go through a few sets of wheel spacers though to place them where I needed them. There is one downside though, really not good at making u-turns anymore. I may be in the El Cajon area this weekend and might be able to meet up. Send me a PM.

Dragun, IMO it handles pretty well. It sure doesn't handle like a truck anymore. Sticks going around corners. The wheels are factory C6 Grandsport rear wheels. I used hubcentric wheel adapters to give me the correct back spacing I needed.

Tinydb84, The short answer is wheel adapters. However, with stock lower arms, you loose a lot of turning radius. I did run the setup with stock arms for a while by clearancing the back side of the control arm where the wheel makes contact, but you still don't get back enough for parking lot driving (Always took 2 shots to pull into a spot). I was able to get most of it back with a lower control arm change. It took the right lower control arm design though. I looked into Porterbuilt, Ride Tech, CPP, and Hotchkis. I ended up going with Hotchkis based on the shape of the backside tube compared to the other arms. One thing I haven't mentioned is I also did a brake swap. You can see the brake swap here.
