2" Drop Spindles with GTA "rears"

Just wondering if this is going to cause any problems with the drop spindles vs the stockers. I am running the "rear GTAs" on the front of my T-type with a 7/16" spacer, and it clears the tie rods, barely. Will I have any problems with the rim being too close to the lower control arm or the tie rod ends? Thanks

As long as the outer tie rod, where it connects to the steering arm, is still in the correct location, it will actually position it at a different location relative to the wheel. Your biggest concern will be from tire rub on the upper wheel well lip and also the rear wheel opening and the fender well to the rear adjacent to the wheel lip. These relationships will change the most.
