Hey, not what you want to hear but if you want to keep those rims you are going to have to modify that guard. The rim looks to be a 0 offset making it stick out more too. Most owners i see use a grinder to fix this, but yeah its up to you.

yeah, webers are ok but i kinda like the 4barrel look. im actually using a Barry Grant Demon instead of Holley. I like thhe looks better and they perform alot smoother... i think atleast
