Cut your wheel wells and make them fit. They're worth the effort.

Cut your wheel wells and make them fit. They're worth the effort. I want to keep the body as close to factory as I can, with only the front grille and taillights changing. Those wheels and redlines will work on another build.  |

The leaf springs are set so wide apart, and the wheels sort of snap on to the axle ends, that it would have taken more work than I wanted to do to shorten the axles so the wheels would work. I did think about it, but decided against it. I couldn't trim the wheels down, either, as it would have gotten into the detail on the front, and ruined the look. i'm keeping that set on the bench, ready for another build to come along!
