Does anyone have a measurement from the spindle to the outside of the tire on a Torq-Thrust II, Aluminum, 15 in. x 4 in., 5 x 4.5 in. Bolt Circle, 1.50 in. Backspace?
Trying to lower the front of my 46 and I don't have enough clearance with the current combo.
They don't offer any other offset for my application so I have limited options.
Can't help with a measurement but I believe American Racing can do custom offsets on the two piece designs. They offer a two piece Torq Thrust II so you should be able to get one with more positive offset. Might not be cheap or quick but custom stuff never it.
Yes, it does "That LOOK like a '41?" Front end was badly beat up and I like the looks of the 41 better. Little cutting here and there and she's now a 41-46 Ford.
Or as I say 416 Ford.
I am running factory arms now with a Chassis Engineering sway bar and strut rods.
How big of issue are these going to be?
Car is completely assembled. Other then the front suspension that is back off.
Bolts were flipped when the final assembly was done.
Switching to the narrower control arms looks do able as for the work. Has anyone swapped from standard to the narrower control arms?
Did it go smoothly or were there clearance issues anywhere? ie control arms or brake calipers.
And what did you do for a sway bar mount? I am mounted under the stabilizer bar now.
Thanks
It's only narrower on my car. I am 2" wider then the now standard MII cross-member. When ordering the sway bar the Chassis Engineering sway bar #SB-4148PM was 2" to narrow so I had to order the wider one.
