Very cool tool for wheel offsets, I have not seen that before. There is about 3" between the tire and the strut so I am good here. And yes, the boot is split because it was installed in 1993. This has been a long project with lots of breaks for kid reasons. I even have a freeze plug leaking it has been so long. I am using 78 Granada rotors, but the inboard side of the rotor is about a 1/4" from the lower control arm so I doubt the rotor/brake set up is the issue. I reviewed the EM manual again it says to use a 15x7 wheel with 3 7/8" back spacing and a 235/60 15 tire. I currently have a 15x7 wheel with 3" back spacing, a 245/60 15 tire and a 3/8" pin drive plate. This could be the majority of my issue.
I could get new wheels with the correct back spacing to start and then consider shorter A arms or a tire size drop.
