here are the pics from my test fit session, and when I swapped to the modded front hubs with the long ARP studs for my track skinnies, the rear 16x10's fit fine, but it is not the caliper that has to be negotiated, it is the toe link/ knuckle connection:

now to examine how close they actually miss the toe link knuckle, that is the black rod, above the lower A, it has about 1/4" clearance at the knuckle (not visable):

no issue with the high IRS bolt that messes with 17x10+ and 18x10+ setups:

now for the fronts, check out the extra long nose drag wheel style lugnuts, I had to get a 36mm (1 3/8 too small) socket for the hub retainer nut (258 ftlbs) and remove the rotors:

the SVT wheels still look OK, even with the studs sticking out a tad:

what do you think? next to get the tires mounted and for some fun at the track with these, MT ET's and a new Ram clutch & Flywheel!
