sat down to do the research yet, and the front rims are just scrawny compared to the stock rear rims.
We used the roller... Pinched the tabs in first, then had a nice afternoon of rolling back-and-forth to get the fender to fit the wheels/tire on full down compression... I widened the rear track by 3" and the front track by 2" with spacers that were welded to the hat, which is a cheesy way for a car that runs road courses (IMO), but it was cheaper than extending the axel... It's a work in progress and this will be the first weekend I have it on the track with these changes... We also cut the top spring perches away from the uni-body and re-welded them 1" up from the OEM placement... The perch pads are now the one dot (1mm) The camber is completely out of whack, probably -4 rear and -3 front... Like I said, it's a work in progress, but if I didn't have to race this weekend, I wouldn't put the car on the track if I didn't have to try to save my regional position with NASA...
