Spoke with Vintage Wheels and Team 3, i need to loose 32mm a side to fit the front wheels and maintain the current wheel to guard distance (3/4" + 1/2" for knock off flange).

VZ hubs, taking out 32mm might be a trick, there's only 16mm between mounting and wheel flange.

Dave with the Jag hubs its quite easy to loose 30 mm from the hub,moving the wheels inboard.
Im not too sure about the Commodore hubs.
The Vintage wheels centers are very think about 62 mm
And the distance from the hub mounting face to the webbing of the wheel is 20 mm.
I hope this is of help
Thanks Paul

Anyone care to educate me on lower control arms like this. Are these a custom made item and would that be the common approach for them to be made or are there off the shelf purchase options.

If custom Made, any suggestions on preferred fabricators.

Cheers, and thanks in advance for suggestions.

How are things like "ackerman" angles or bump steer affected. ?
Upper Control Arm - Front, Chop an inch off the Heim joint end of the arms plate the end, shorten the adjuster lock nuts.

Lower Control Arm - Front, Chop the ball joint end and move an inch towards the bushes, leaving all shock positions as is.
