Clois,

You may want to PM another CC member, 496FE (Brian). I believe he built a B&B and he even shortened the A-arms by an inch to move them inward and gain more clearance with his knock-off rims. I've seen the car and he knows his stuff regarding fabrication. He kept eyeballing the suspension on my SPF to figure out how they were able to engineer the front suspension so this sort of thing doesn't happen. He can't run a Goodyear billboard on the fronts for the same reason...the sidewall bulge sticks out. I told him to look at a MT street drag radial (235 size) instead as another option...pump them up to 32psi and they stick reasonably well once they get warm. Although I'm not aware of anyone that has tried them on a track for several laps.
