Qa1 uppers. With 17x8. 67 dart.

Jeffrey67dart said
I mounted the qa1 upper control arms on my 67 dart. Converted it to discbrake's from mbm. I wanted to go 17x8 with 5.25 or 5.5 inch backspace all around. But the qa1's have such a big cup where the ball joint sits that i think i can not clear the wheel.
Anybody experience with this? I've had firm feel uppers before and they looked like that i have more room for the wheel. If i go to 18 inch wheels i probably don't have the problem. But I cannot find them with the looks i am looking for.

The problem with 17" wheels is tire selection. I was trying hard to go with a 17" wheel, but I couldn't find tires in the sizes I wanted. I went with 18". I spent way more time than I care to even think about looking for an "off the shelf" wheel, but I'm happy with my final selection. There are tons of 18" tires out there, you should be able to find something that works for you. I have 18x8 on the front and 18x10 on the back.
