Re: C-20 front wheel rubbing

Seems like custom tube a-arms would be the way to go to guarantee everything fits.
You'll prob want more than .250" change. Common front BS is 5 - 5.25" to keep the tire away from the fender lip.

Narrowed front arms would help.
More NEG Camber might help (you didn't list the alignment specs).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
