This is a wheel question guys

[cheford]

As some do and some don't know what I'm building I'll refresh. I'm building a 56 Ford F100 panel truck on a 72 Chevy C10 frame. I've put the body back on the frame that was lowered in front with drop spindles and 1'' lowered springs and 4'' lowered coils out back. Now with the front fenders on there is no room to turn the wheel as the tires rub the fenders. There is 1/2'' from the tire to the fender lip. I know that I have to go with a deeper back spacing but what width and size of rim would I have to go with as the steering knuckle looks as though will be a problem and if the rim is to wide might rub the tie rod. For those who have thier front wheels tucked in the wheel well openings, how far between the fender and tire do you need without fear of rubbing. Thanks and a merry Christmas to you.
