Is where my tire is rubbing the common place where they rub? I wonder if 7" rims would be better up front then the 8" for this issue or not. I have my old 14" rims with tires that I was going to test on the front.

I forgot to mention that I have the Hotchkis BB springs too. From what I remember of measureing the sub frame it has to be done with the engine out because of the diagnal measurements from the firewall to the end of the frame.
