Drop Spindles and ZR1 wheels...

I was wondering if anyone made drop spindles for the 86 Camaro, i cannot find any, anywhere i look? And Is it possible for the 17x11 ZR1 wheels to fit i n the rear with the 315/40(?)/17 tire and not do any mods? I m putting a 4th gen Rear so that will widen it a bit, but will it be enough? or will i need to get a mini tub kit?
Thanks for the info!

Never mind i found some for $550, does anyone make them cheaper?

no its been done many times.

it all depends on what offset you end up with, you may need a spacer, and some hammering on the front of the fenderwell will be required. Tubular control arms will gain you a little more clearance and you may have to clearance the bumpstop.

depending on ride height you may also need to roll the fender.

you can cut anything you want, just be sure to weld a new piece back in when you are done.
