not going to help that much, when you run the wheel further inboard you start to hit the frame with the tire at full lock anyway :|

how wide of a tire hits?

[MR2]

at 19x10+42 with a 285/35R19 at full lock it JUST hits the rails, this is with the alignment at 0 camber, keep in mind this is a larger than stock OD, but you get the idea.

most race tire's are wider than the same size road tyre as well :| it's why I'm keeping an eye on Permenant grin's DR1400 build...see how the R888's go against his shocks.

i dont think during road racing you normally do any full tilt turning correct?
also permenant grin also went wider on the offset too with a wide body kit.

[MR2]

you'd definitely not do any full tilt turns unless your going hairpins or something, you don't want your tires contacting the rails no matter what your doing though so if your going a custom setup you need to keep in mind the bearing center-line etc (but then I don't need to tell you any of this), and yeah he did, quite a few of us think there will be oodles of room between his tire and shock to have had a higher offset (and improve things like the bump steer/ increase the lifespan of bearings etc)

A nice flowing 4'' downpipe would be nice to see.

[J. Fast]

exactly...pretty much your only option, and notice how the upper A arm is mounted to the subframe, not the rails themselves? that is something I think we'd need to keep. not impossible, just weld onto the subframe and wrap around the frame rails etc
I'd not be worrying about keeping the stock stock setup as anyone going THIS far won't be running their car 90% of the time on the road, and if they do they are going to be OK with some additional stiffness, you should be fine keeping the top mount though and with a custom lower mount that uses the normal coilover mount points in theory most people with coil overs could stick with them...

Are you saying just convert to double wishbone and stick with stock coilover mounts?

[MR2]

more or less, yes.

assuming you have a pivoting bracket that goes between the lower A arm and the bottom mount of the shock, a bracket could be made to suite any shock lower mount if you get what I'm saying

What rim/tire size is P. G. using?
