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.

Well the narrower rims do not work for me. I would need at least a +8mm offset to get me to a comfortable distance.
Option #2
Mustang II 5/8" Narrowed Tubular Control A Arms Set

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
