Do you get a rub on the foot wells with the back side of the tiree as well? That tire sits out lots!
I ran into that, had to make room both on the foot well and that corner of the fender. I just rolled the edge of the fender away and beat back the foot wells tomake room.
Ugly at best, don't need much room to get a way with it, but remember the movement in the suspension. I would get wheel rub any time I was hard on the brakes and turning hard, not that I ever did that much:-)
Be nice to tuck those in a little, would make things easier. How much room do you have between the tire and the shock?

I think it's because you don't have weight in the front and the suspension are actually not on it's normal possition. When I pulled out my motor and transmission I couldn't turn my wheels, but when I put them back it all normal again.

Yeah it does look higher that's why I thought you have your motor out... But Bill is right about the stage 1 kit from racingbeat it tend to pull the suspension forward.
