Yes, I asked him what he was running for wheel/tire sizes. He has 18x8s up front with 225-40s. I have 2" drop spindles. I quickly mocked up a 225-50 and put it where it looked good. I only had 1 5/8" from the top of tire to the bottom of inner fender. I thought that's what I would hit first...not K-member to ground. A 225/40 will have some more clearance then the one I tested.

I've got another picture of the car that is a closeup of the wheel lip to fender distance. It doesn't even look like there is an inch between them.
