----Outer : Inner (both with 52mm offset)
9": 2.46" : 6.54"
8": 1.83" : 6.04"

It's spread pretty evenly due to it not being much of an aggressive change.

Mike, what do you think would be the widest you could get on the fronts? I know it's totally dependent on other parts, but what have you seen?

Widest I've seen on a stock bodied front end was a 275, which is what Danno was running. He had to shave the brake line clips down and pull the fender liners. I ran 265's with no issues.

I agree, it is a bit disconcerting. This was Tony's V8. So a mild 5.7 that, judging from the videos, isn't driven too hard or abused. From what I gather from the forums, it happened on the second session after installing 275 front, 315 rear (widened Cup 2's):
