This is the way to do it, measure & order once all is done. And yes, spendy, but this is how you are able to get the largest tire under the car as possible.

Forgeline are very nice, and understand they are great to work with.

The wheels I have now are cast, and limited backspacing offerings at the time. I wanted more backspacing, but couldn't afford much more than what I spent then, so that's what I ended up with.

Drop spindles are a no-no for a number of reasons, but that's where you run into the highest chance of tie rod contact.

I will revisit wheels after the car is on the road, best I can do.
