well id like to run my 18x10s with 5.5 backspacing in the front.
i saw that fatman has 2to2 inch narrowed controll arms that shorten the track enough to run that.

i would have rather done the GW or DSEs for the caster but they dont offer a narrowed.. and if i wanted to do that.. it would have to be the subframe.. which i dont need.

so.. anyone used the heigts?
or had any other form to ride with wider up front?

i know that you can run 9s up front fairly easy but can you run 10s with 5.5 backspace in front?

the only reason is that i have the 17/18 combo and im thinking to move up to the 18/20 combo.. i already have the 18s so itll hurt to buy a whole new set.. on top of that i waited 12 weeks for these!!!

aahhhh!.. at least i can wait for 2 til.

From the previous discussions on the narrowed control arms - the main advantage is to run deeper dished front wheels. That is just for looks as it does nothing to improve handling. There are people on here running 9.5" front wheels with 5.5" of back space. It's a very tight fit and it involves slightly shortening the steering radius with adjustable steering stops (See Carl C's website). Ride height will also play a major roll here. I don't think you are going to able to get the 10s on there and make them work right. Just my opinion but I'm sure more help will be on the way soon and maybe give you other ideas or agree with me. Unless you're willing to run a 4x4 ride height.

Agreed,shorter arms are detrimental to overall geometry and only allow the use of deeper dish wheels makes the already poor (by modern standard) scrub radius much worse. It`ll make the car tend to tramline or follow lines and imperfections in the road as well as jerking the wheel when you hit bumps etc. Very annoying. We fit 19x11 wheels on the front of a customer`s `70 F body but even with the `70`s larger wheelwells it required major surgery to both the body and subframe. Mark SC&C
