Experience with C4 suspension kit for '47-'53 from Flat Out Eng.?

Anyone here have experience with the C4 suspension kit for a '47-'53 from Flat Out Engineering?

I'm asking because I'm hoping someone who's installed this kit can comment on what wheel diameters, widths and backspacing I can expect to fit inside stock fenders/fenderwheels.

Ideally I'd like to run an 18"x7" or 8" front and an 18"x10" rear, widening the rear fenders 2" or slightly more if necessary for the latter.

I'm subscribing to this thread because I plan on doing the same thing with my '50. I know that the C4's are 1.5" more narrow than the C5.
