I think it depends what offset the wheels are. I was worried about it too since when I'm not using the 18's/20's, I'll run some 15x6" steelies up front. They clear just fine, but looking @ them, if they had more offset they prob would rub the top of the caliper.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Yes, they will rub on a stock wheel. I have them on my Blazer, and we put stock rally wheels back on it. The wheel went on, but it wouldn't roll. We put a 16" wheel on it, and it clears...

I believe you can grind down some of the A arm for clearance. I think this is stated in DJM's installation instructions.

I had them on my 83 w/ some 15" stockers from my 98 and all I had to do was grind a bit of the top of spindle down and they worked.

I think the backspacing on my front steelies is 3.5" which is kind of shallow & prob why I didn't have to grind anything.
