LCA's) Off-setting poly/other bushings other then rod ends?

Would there be any binding or problems with doing this?
The idea is to put them in towards the rear end and tuck wider rubber in the wheel wells. I havent seen anyone make a set maybe theres a reason why. more strain on the welds?

never seen anything other than rod ends for this, i dont see why somebody couldnt make one with poly. Spohn has some new Derlin bushed rod end things, maybe call them see if they can make offset ones

however, you can fit a 315 on the car without needing offset arms. Anything more than that you are looking at a LOT of sheetmetal/frame work. unless you dont mind the tires sticking out of the wheel wells.

You can get a the rod ended LCAs from UMI & a poly thread end, to to put place of one rod end.

But really....The double rod ends aren't all that bad. Slight vibration increase thought the pedal into your feet, but really not that bad, even on my 315/35/17s.

You can build them offset if you want when you use the weld in type.
