1965 Dart 8.8 rear end swap

I have a 64 valiant and my 8.8 is shortened with a second short side shaft. I installed my leaf springs inboard 1.5” and have cobra r wheels(17x9”). The off set is to much that the tire hits the leaf springs. I installed a 1/2 wheel spacer and the tire to wheel clearance is 1/4”. I also had to roll the fender lip pretty much flat with the fender. So my suggestion is no wider than an 8” rim.
