He won't have any trouble with fender clearance with 7 inch wheels unless his axle is way too wide as 64 inche wms to wms. His whole problem is that he hasn't quite figured out that more back spacing puts the rim closer to the caliper and less back spacing puts it further away to the caliper. We have explained the problem and have given him the fix but it takes him longer to figure it out.
He could have popped a lug stud out, run to the parts house and found some matching lug studs that were 1/4 or more longer and put the spacers on and done but he has to do everything the hard way and make old man Davison cringe. fiy Mr 48 = old man Davison or Rob Davison in some groups.
