Need at least 16" wheels to clear the lower control arm.
The weights can still hit w/20" wheels if attached to the edge of the rim depending on the spindle/a-arm combo. They just make contact farther inboard on the a-arm vs a smaller diameter wheel. My 18x8" Torq Thrusts would contact the a-arm as well as some 20x8.5" Coys on my old 74. I have 2" drop spindles on my 90 w/15x6.5" van ralleys up front & the weights don't hit.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
