well please tell me you don't have a super, as I don't think they will fit well. And when I say well I mean good turning and scrub with a super, that 8.5 up front is the problem.

If you have a standard well they might work, but you will need a huge spacer if you want your turning close to stock. Generally though people get by with a bit larger than stock.

let me know how much the brakes increase the front track and I can plug that into the formulas, and if you will be using dropped spindles.

Let me know and I can give you a better idea. But as is the spacer should be in the range of 2inches. That wide front rim hurts. That will get you to about a 20 ft turning circle (stock is 18). And just to let you know you'll need in the range of a 3 inch wider front fender to fit them. Can't you get a smaller front, the norm is 7 inches and well that still isn't "easy" takes some thought to get them to work, and 8's or even 8.5's will be really hard.

easy
