Re: van ralleys
I used some 15x6.5's on my trailer, does that help?
I think Joe put some on the front of his crew to help with clearance issues. Not totally sure of his drop, but you can probably find out in his build thread. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=383701

Re: van ralleys
Trim the edge of the a-arm lip off using a cut-off wheel on an angle grinder. I drill a hole where I want the trimmed portion to 'end' & cut to the hole. I then use a grinding disc to smooth all the edges completely. No sharp edges = less opportunity for stress cracks.
