71 C20 Front track width
Anybody know of a way to decrease the track width on a 71 C/20? Reason I ask is that I 20 x 8 Detroit Steel wheels on my truck, the tires are just about flush with the front fender lip. Naturally it rubs a little when the suspension compresses. My wheels have 4.5" back spacing already, DS says the max backspacing is 4.75". I don't think another 1/4" is going to be enough.
Any ideas?

Re: 71 C20 Front track width
Chances are if the track was narrowed you would rub on the inside. a 1/4 inch is a lot when it comes to the big honk'n wheels. Have you thought about rolling the wheels lips, or is it hitting the inner fenderwheel first?

Re: 71 C20 Front track width
It’s rubbing at the top of the inner fender- right where the bolts for the inner fender are. I replaced the hex head bolts with button heads but it didn’t help much. It rubs between the 10 o’clock and 2 o’clock location.
