Centering of the front wheels, what does it take?

I am interested in getting my front wheels moved forward a few inches to center the wheel in fender. Looking at the front end, it seems like I can move the front crossmember forward to achieve this. What do you guys think?

What kind of clearance will I have in the wheels turning radius if I do this? (in relation too the inner and outer fender)

Doing so, I will have to move the steering box forward as well. Steering shafts issue there?

Motor mounts will be an issue as well, but I plan on moving the motor forward anyways due to the notching I will be doing to the front crossmember. But that being said, how much room do I have between the fan and the radiator in a typical application?


I don't have the body on the frame right now so all the answers I can get from you all well be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
