Front tire dilemma

My 2 cents: Met a guy at mopars in the park last summer with a white 1967 Dart, we were talking tire clearances on the A Bodies. He said on his front lower front fenders he extended the front lower 5/16th support rod by 1 inch to gain tire clearance while turning with his mag wheels on. Made a lot of sense to me. Basically kicking out the front bottom of the fender to stay away from the front tire. Still looked factory, never would have known had he not told me.

One turn up on the front torsion bars might give a tad bit of help too, reset the toe in after the torsion adjustment. Most of these cars are sitting pretty low in the front anyway.

In my case I will try to mount 245 60 R14 on 14x7" 3.5" backspace rim wheels, done in the rear, just had to cut 1/2" from the inner fender lips, clearance is 1/2" back there if rear goes really low.
Still have to assemble the front this weekend I hope, so if the tires on front do not exceed the width of the front fenders on top, I`d be doing this.
The front brace right in front of the tire is easy, the fender will flex and can be pulled out maybe 2" if it does not look ridiculous but the fender brace on top of the tire does not seem to allow much pulling out, maybe 1/2".
It is a great idea before cutting the fenders, as you and Bob said.
