I have a chance to buy some nice used 15x7 american racing torque thrust wheels for my 55 second series project. It has a 77 camaro clip installed level with frame. Two inch dropped spindles and 77 camaro rearend. Nice wheels but only have 3.75" backset. Measured the rear and came up with 3/4 to 1" clearance using 225 series tires. anyone have the measurement between inner fender edges on the front? Dont want a problem of tires rubbing front fenders while turning. Here is a pic of front with mockup wheel and without engine so ride height will be lower. Any thoughts?
