Default Fox Body Roll Center Adjusters...where?

So, Im rockin 93 GT Wheels on my 89 GT. The 93s are 245s all around. They rub on the front bumper and wheel well liner when turning hard right...and rub on the K frame as I turn hard left. SO...Im goin 225 on the front to reduce this issue while keeping the 245s on the rear. Anyone else run into this issue when running 93 wheels on the 89s? Why does this occur? Are 93s slightly longer or something?lol Cause if the 93s ran these wheels I'd think they would have this problem right?
Current Wheel size - 245/50/16

Im thinking I should go 205/50/16 in the front and 245/50/16 rear

Hard Left

While turning right


THEN Im goin with lowering springs. 1.75in drop. My next question is are there any places that sell RCAs for the foxes? I cant seem to find any source.... Thanks

Adam

the fenders are cut differently on the pre 90-91s when the pony rims came out. the fender extensions are cut differently to allow more clearance for the wheel. i have the same rubbing on the inside with my car.

sounds to me like you are looking for something along these lines... sadly, i do not know of any for the foxbody cars.

http://www.steeda.com/products/x2_balljoints.php

However, IIRC, all you need is a spacer to shim the castle nut at the end of the balljoint.

For future reference: use simple terms... It took me 20 minutes of googling to figure out WTF a "roll center adjuster" was

Sorry about the RCA confusion. I thought you all would be familiar with the term. I used the term quite often with my 240 pals and forums. We all like em and use em when lowering our cars to help the steering geometry
