Are there any relocation brackets so I can fit wider tires on my 86 z
I am looking for relocation brackets for rear controll arms (I think that's what theyre called). I want to move the tires in about 2 inches on each side and realized that there are 2 long bars in the way that go to the rear end, are there special modified ones for sale where you can put bigger tires on? if so where can I find these thanks for any help you can give me,
Dave

Your tires will hit the inner fender way before the lower control arms. I'd take a sledge hammer to the inner fender before doing anything to the suspension. I've heard of guys getting 17x11" wheels to fit in the rear with no major modifications.

Stan is right, the stock tires only clear the inside of the fender wells by about 1/2 or 3/4". You've got a long way to go there before you have to worry about the suspension in these cars.
