Sub frame help !!!

I have read several articals on this site about putting camero sub frames on 55-59 trucks. I need to know how far to pull the subframe forward to center the wheels in the fender openings. Any help with this measurement will be greatly appreciated. I'll be doing this installation in the next few months. Thank in advance for the help.

Re: Sub frame help !!!

I did 2", but it will probably depend on how low you intend to go and what size wheel/tire you intend to run.
