Not unless I widen the rear fenders, which Im not opposed to doing, but I would love not to have to do that. How wide of a tire are you guys with the C4 rear being able to use? Almost makes me think about throwing a solid axle under there to get the look Im going for......

Looks like unless I do something to relocate the trailing arms inward a good bit I will have to use a narrower tire than I had hoped. I might try to put the trailing arms on the inside side of the spindles with a 3-4" spacer between the arms and the spindles. What are your guys thoughts?
Are you trying to narrow the rear track width? If so, by how much?
