Good morning. There is a bright orange yellow orb in the sky over Southern California right now. Quite welcome to see it, but I digress.
The 1974 Arizona car has uneven tire to fender clearance from side to side. The tires are the same make and size, it has the same rims on it, but I have about one fingers worth of clearance on the driver side to the tire wall but basically none on the passenger side. I don’t have a history on the car but the tub is straight and does not evidence any accidents. I haven’t put the car up on a rack to check the alignment but it doesn’t look like the rear camber is noticeably different from side to side. Any ideas to share? Thanks! |

I know I'm a little late on this, but one more data point...
On my 1972 car with the same wheels (American Racing Le Mans) and 165-15 Vredestein tires, there is roughly 5/8 inch fender clearance on the driver's side and less than 1/4 inch fender clearance on the passenger side. Camber is the same on both sides. It's been like that since new. Hope this helps! |
