Finally got my wheels on, 17x8 ford racing mach 1. tires are 225/45 front and 275/40 rear. I had trouble with the front fitment, but im running 1" adapters milled to .800" with rolled lips up front. I have only heard a couple scrapes from the rear on big bumps, but cant find any marks on the tires, so i guess its fine. im running pos 2.5 caster, and neg 1 camber. Stock replacement rear leafs, and 1 coil cut 620 springs with stock UCA location.

I found the extra .200 off the front to be a big help, with advice from another member. I had to grind alittle on the UCA, and balance the tires with stick on weights on the inside, because its super close. I am careful about hitting bumps with the wheel turned sharp, like parking lot driving, because i think they will grab the fender. what do ya think?
