Karl, would that process you described be something we should consider doing to our mounts as preventative maint? Or is that only something you would do as a last resort? Like Dewey I dont have any problems with mine either, but if there is something I can do to prevent possible failure I'll do it. Thanks Karl!!
MrDude_1, thanks for the info it does help. I also found after shaving the stops on my a-arm that nothing had changed, then I found out about the stops in the box. So I will be replacing the stock steering box with an aftermarket one and I'm going to have them modify the internal stops before shipping it to me. But I'm not sure how much more angle I can use without contact, so I'm dealing with the contact issues first. So far its basically been measuring under the car with the suspension loaded at full lock and trying to figgure it out. I think widening the front track is the best way to deal with the chassis contact. Who cares about fenders hehehe!!!

(of course, on a car as low as yours, with as much neg. camber (the SIA is effected by the camber setting) as you have, widening the track out a hair might just put the scrub radius radius right back where it would be.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it... but if you ever do need or decide to put a fresh set of bearings into the mounts, then using the adhesive as an extra preventative step certainly cannot hurt.
Crazy,
As far as getting extra clearance for additional steering lock, well I can't say this has ever been something I have looked at... For what I do, it is not an issue. I don't think that adding spacers to increase track is the answer, as that increases scrub radius also and will mean that the outside shoulder of the tire will contact the inner fender at the front sooner than if you had no spacers at all. Having the shortest possible tire on the front will help with this, as will having the tire tucked in.
You need to find a compromise with the inside of the tire hitting the sway bar or inner fender versus the outer shoulder hitting the inner fender at the front. Perhaps some amount of wheel spacer will be necessary to achieve this.

I'll be honest, I didnt calculate anything to do with scrub radius yet. Definately something I should do before moving on. As far as contact, that is exactly where I'm at right now. Outside edge or shoulder of the tire would be contacting the edge of the fender towards the nose of the car at full lock with a wider track. So I'm gonna be trimming the fenders, inner liner is already gone. I really need as much angle as possible for drifting, even if I have to sacrafice other things. I don't think I'll be using a big spacer or anything, but not sure yet, front wheel specs are 17x8.5" w/ 4.5" BS and -7mm offset (ROH ZS), and then I have to take into account offset changes from the front brake upgrade I want to do (what is it .3mm?) I also thought the shorter tire would help me, so my front setup is around 24.5" tall (235/40/17).
Man I feel bad for hijacking this thread, but thats for the info guys, really appreciate it!!

You need to get out and messure stuff also. On my car, I hit the liner before I hit full lock, if I only have it at 2" below ride height. Lowering an extra .5", i pick up some more clearance, any lower, I start to lose clearance. there is really a ride height "sweet" spot for clearance, due to the shape of the wheel well, and liner.

Your rear wheels have 5.5" backspace do they not? Try fitting a rear on the front to see if it clears the lip on the strut and the tie rod. I don't know how much meat is on the wheels you have in that area, but on my wheels, and on other 17" wheels from CCW the tie rod fits inside the wheel without hitting. You only need about 1/8" clearance to the strut to keep things from hitting.
I wouldn't recommend removing any material from the front of the fender well where the wheel is hitting, as that is a structural area. If you do cut out there, I would fabricate a patch to give the clearance needed and weld it over the cut out.

The thing that worries me when measuring this stuff is that I cant truly simulate the suspension loading. So even if it fits with the suspension loaded via floorjack, I'm afraid it will rub with the car on the ground supporting the full weight and the suspension loads. I'm with you on the inner-fenderwells, I don't want to mess with them. The only cutting I plan to do is to the fender itself while its off the car. The front part by the side markers, seems I need to trim that area. I know its kind of ghetto but I'm making spacers out of wood (cheap and easy) so I can test different sizes and see how much room I have at full lock. Then once I find the size I want I'm gonna ask Andris to make me a set of adapters. We'll see how it works out, thanks for your guys ideas/input.

ok..... i just read through all of these replies,lol. and all i wanted to know is if i could get 1998 corvette wheels that are 17 by 9.5 under the four corners of my 92 camaro without any wheel spacers. if not, what wheel spacers would i need? and if i get wheel spacers. what would the over all effect be on the way it looks and in the long run would it put any extra wear on my suspension componets? what size tires would you recomend with the 17 9.5's? i came here that way i didnt have to start a new thread by the way, plus im sure other members have a similar question or questions to the ones i just asked. and imho Hunter Motorsports car is one of the sexiest camaro's i have ever seen in my life.

Re: Cars with 17" and 18" wheels and tires come in and LIST them!!
I am about to put 17's on my '82 (origional front brakes for now), more or less stock ride height.
I have 4 17x9 rims with 5" BS.
I know the "safe" thing would be to use 255-40-17's in front, but...
I want to run Kuhmo V700 275-40-17's all the way around.
I ordered 2 of the 275's and will put them on the front when they arrive to check clearance before I buy the other 2 tires.
Does anyone have any predictions on whether or not this will fit and/or where I where I am most likely to run in to problems?

I guess no one ever reads this thread. Maybe everyone who might care was out racing their cars this weekend.
Anyway, I'll answer my own question.
They don't rub at all, at least not that I can tell after vigerously throwing the car around several 180 turns in both directions and driving over BIG dips in the road twice as fast as I would drive my SUV. I also tried full lock turns both ways in a culdesac. I never heard any rubbing and I can't find any signs of rubbing in the wheel well or on the tire.

Re: Cars with 17" and 18" wheels and tires come in and LIST them!!
Here are some pictures of my car with the 17x9's and 275-40-17's all the way around.
The black wheel on a white car takes a little getting used to but it is starting to grow on me. The fact that these fit BETTER than the 16" factory rims helps a lot. The fact that I can get 3 rims for the price on 1 tire doesn't hurt much either. After having destroyed 4 different sets of aftermarket aluminum rims by running DOT auto-x tires, I'm expect that these steel wheels will hold up better.

what steelies are those? They look like the Allied 91's? I was thinking about going that route as well since they make a 18 I believe.

They are Cragar Soft 8's. This is the biggest size I have seen for this wheel.

17x9 front-265/40 Summitomo HTRZ 2's
18x9 1/2 rear-285/40 Summitomo HTRZ 2's
Was running 2in spacers all around till I switched to 4th Gen. rear, now I just run them in the front. Rear tucks nicely inside the upper fender lip (unrolled). Fronts are also well inside the fenders. No rubbing whatsoever.

18x10.5 Z06 replica 275 40 sumitomo htrz2 rear, 2" spacer 1" drop
i could probably run a 1/8" smaller spacer in front cuz i have Baer brakes, i run -.5* camber in front and the wheels sit just inside the fender lip. the fronts will probably clear one more inch drop if i wanted them to. the rears could fit another 1/2" of wheel on the inside, but no more drop. the vert' wheel wells are sabotaged by the compartment added to them for the top to fold into.

That's exactly what I want to do. Do you have any clearance problems? Did you need to modify anything? Do they stick out beyond the fender lip? Do you have any photos? Do you think this is enough questions?

This thread helped me, so I thought I'd post some pics and info. I picked up a set of SLP Hyper Black ZR-1 style 17x8's (for the 3rd gens) and put 245/45/17's on the front and 255/45/17 on the rear. They fit great with no issues.

So I', getting a 1991 RS lo3 % speed, and right now it has the stock 16 in wheels, with 245s all the way around, and they are like 10.5-11 Wide I believe. But once I get it I am gonna get a Eibach lowerin kit, and koni yellow shocks and struts,

It will either be that one or the 450 adjustable "coil over"
Now, I love the 98-02 Camaro ss wheels. I know I will have to run a 2 inch backspacer with the stock front end and rear end. I just want to know whats the widest tire those bad boys can fit? Here's link as to where I am gonna get them from. Any ideas?

Re: Cars with 17" and 18" wheels and tires come in and LIST them!!
Here are some pictures of my car with the 17x9's and 275-40-17's all the way around.
The black wheel on a white car takes a little getting used to but it is starting to grow on me. The fact that these fit BETTER than the 16" factory rims helps a lot. The fact that I can get 3 rims for the price on 1 tire doesn't hurt much either. After having destroyed 4 different sets of aftermarket aluminum rims by running DOT auto-x tires, I'm expect that these steel wheels will hold up better.

They were Cragar Soft 8's.
No problems, they always worked great. I eventually had to get rid of them to make room for new braked with 13.8" rotors. Otherwise I would still be using them.
I'm currently running four C5 rear wheels, 18x9.5 with 2", hub centric spacers
