That's the only way, to get the wheel off the outter fender,
and at that, you have to watch wheel rub on the springs (especially with coil-overs)
The fox's we are running were just not setup for that wide a wheel.Eric C

I've got the full MM max kit with coil overs using 96 Cobra spindles / brakes on my 92 coupe. The MM K member moves the wheels about 3/4" ( ? ) forward. I've got the 17 x 9 R wheels and they rub in the front by the bumper cover lower extensions. I've rolled the lips on the fenders with no inner plastic wheel wells and they seem to clear. This is just an empty shell with no engine or drivetrain at this point so I know I'll have to make some adjustments. I'm just guessing, and it depends on your tire sidewall height of course, but it sounds like you'll be pretty close to rubbing to me.
