1960 With Fat Man front end on shockwaves opinion needed

Couple questions for the bagged crowd out there. I have a 1960 fleet side that I just put a Fat Man Fab hub to hub kit in with ridetech shockwaves. I have the ridetech bag set up in the rear. My question is, how many out here are running 20's up front with no mod to the inner fender and how far can you get it down on a 20 with non modded inner fenders. I'm not looking to lay frame, just want a nice ride and stance.

Any help out there???

Can't seem to get link I want. Text from Ride Tech says 21" from ground to center of fenders on a 24" tire

Thanks!! You're a big help! You have any idea how far you can dump a 60 in the rear with no c notch? I'm assuming it'll hit the axle before the tires hit the wheel tubs.

Re: 1960 With Fat Man front end on shockwaves opinion needed

Stock arms aired out no notch. Problem is stock arms push axle up and forward into bed. That's why I went Porterbuilt rear arms. I still really not into notch. 11 inch to rear frame aired out. See my build from budget to overkill. It has taken some time to get it this far never mind $$$. I work too hard not to do this one right.

295/45/18 ...28.4" Nitto 555s or early 275/60/15.
At 225/70/15 temp fronts, plan is 245/45/18. Match salt flats at 18x8.5. Vs rear 18x9.5
