You didn't say if you were running stock drums or disc brakes. If it's a stock drum, I ran this setup with a pair of 5" BRM's and they just did fit under the fenders (looked good I thought). Also, it really depends on the wheel your running. I can say that a set of 4.5" Fuchs will fit under the fenders with a stock beam, 2.5" dropped spindles and disc brakes but BRM's will not. The BRM's have a deeper face that makes them stick out further than a Fuch. Each wheel will be different so pick a wheel type then do research to see if it will fit your prefered setup.

Doh....sorry, yes with Stock drums. Those do look pretty good under there. There's a couple of rims that I've been looking at, not sure which way I'll be going yet. Thanks for your pic....anyone else?
