Car was a mess during the pics so f***off!
Just finished the coil over conversion and low and behold, my 17x9's were too much for em.

Inner lip of the wheel was rubbing on the lower spring perch, but!
I can turn once more and...
She now squats like a bitch!



Edit: 10holes arnt there to stay however, Draglites will take their place soon enough.

That car stands like a pissed off pit bull!! I like it! How much did you drop it (front/rear) and what you gonna do with those cobra r wheels ?

Obsol3te

More than likely selling them soon enough.

Do you mean the rim was hitting the lower control arm when turned too far? One or both sides? Do you know the b/s of the wheels?

Yep, on the old setup with the stock control arms the inner part of the wheel would grind on the a-arm.
So turning the wheel all the way made a pleasant noise.
When I installed my coil overs and put on those very same rims, the same part of the wheel that was grinding on the a-arm, was now hitting the lower spring perch on my new setup.

I now have Tubular A-arms(to go along with my tubular K-member) and with these wheels now no rubbing anywhere occurs.

Ever seen these? Steering rack limiters.

Why buy something for something I won't do in the first place?
Always stopped turning the wheel where it would just about be rubbing.

Just a suggestion, then there's nothing to think about. Your ride bro, sorry.
