It's possible certain wheels have limitations on minimum back-spacing. Double check the clearance w/full weight on the suspension before spending money & time on it.
This is why grinding a little off the arm lip is common.

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.
