Hi I put 17 inch wheels on my 65 stang and the problem is that when I turn the wheel at a certain angle, my wheels rub. Does anyone know what the best way to correct the problem is? Can I take a grinder and cut off the inner fender lip? The car has nice paint and I'm hoping to avoid damaging it if at all possible. HELP!

The 1" "shelby drop" will help. It adds neg. camber gain when turning, which keeps the top of the tire more inboard. Whether or not this solves the problem depends on the size tire you have. If you are running a 235/45-17, you may not be able to stop the rubbing without rolling in the fender lips and going to an aftermarket upper control arm (like Glogal West or TCP) which will allow you to dial in your camber setting better than the stock shims allow. Good luck. Also, your backspacing is critical. What size and BS do your wheels have?
