So you think you can stance?

A question about tire rod end and rim clearance, how much is there?
I will be running similar front parts on my 65 Cuda, I hear there's not much room with 2" drop spindles and 17" rims.
I was hoping to squeeze at least 225 tires.

I'd think you may be able to run a wider wheel if you had more back spacing. A lot of the "generic" muscle car wheel companies sell their wheels with a near 0mm offset.
