adjusting LCAs

I have the BMR Tubular LCA's and was wondering how to adjust them. I just got some 28" slicks and really wanted to know how to get these things to fit in there. With the 12 bolt in their for some reason the wheel is about 2" past center of the wheel well so it is hitting the rear fender now. Do I need to remove the LCA's to adjust them? If I do, what do I have to remove first before the LCAs?

thanks

Keep an eye on the tires.... check them carefully after the first few runs.

They will "grow", and if they grow enough, they will be hitting the fenders, and cutting grooves in the tread..... or maybe causing a blowout. I had problems with my QTP 28x11.5-15's hitting the front edge of the wheel opening when trap speeds went over 125MPH. I moved the axle back 1/4" to cure it. Then with 28x10.5-15W ET Drags, they wouldn't even fit into the wheel wells untill I cut more then 1" off the leading edge of the bumper cover. We made a dyno pull to the equivalent of 130MPH, and the tires grew enough to hit the metal tip of the fender that is hidden behind the bumper cover. You don't want that to happen at 130+MPH.
