mini tub and lca question?

i have bmr (the fat round red ones) lca and that seems to be the next obsticle in my way, how much room can i get with a thinner lca thats spaced to the inside. what lca would be the best and what could i use for spacers?

this is what i have,

i have hp evo wheels with the fat lip, they are 9 inches wide, i want to get them widened to 12 and go with some 335/30/18. i cant space the wheels out cause i am lowered and it will hit the fender, all i need is maybe 1 inch a side from moving my lca in, is that possible?

Re: mini tub and lca question?

What's the offset on the EVO's? That will determine how much the 3" added at the back will interfere with the LCA's. A 335/30-18 tire will have a section width of about 13.5". I run some ET Drags that have a 13.1" section width, and I had no problems with the old-style Spohn tubular LCA's with the big (2") adjuster nut in the middle of the LCA. And they were poly ends, so they were not offset.

It all depends on the offset of the wheels. If you add 3" to the rear of the wheels, and don't move them outward, you are going to be hitting a lot more than th LCA.

With the spherical rod end Spohn LCA's, there is an approx. 1/2" spacer that goes on each side of the rod end. If you simply put both spacers on the outside, the LCA would move inward 1/2". The Spohn tubulars are not very large in diameter, so you might gain more than a 1/2" if your BMR's are really fat.
