to be"slammed" your probably gonna have to go 4-6" narrowed up front and do a short axle swap out back. most everyone i've seen that was low was no less than 5" narrowed....ken.....

"slammed in the front" do you have more than just drop spindles in the front?

I know that 7s will fit in the back no prob... I have 7 inch cookie cutters with 195/60r15s and I have 1/4 inch clearance to the fender, but it never rubs.

but youll def needa go more than 2 inches narrowed, I have 6s up front (on 195s) with just drop spindles and it still rubs every now and then when loaded up
