Wheel/Frame space help

[1979Calais]

On the driver side my wheel is about 1/2 inch from the frame and on the passenger side the rime is 1/4 inch from the frame. What can I do to fit this?

 

[pontiacgp]

have you made any measurements to make sure the 4 wheels are square

I did not do make sure they were squared, never thought I should do that. Also I do have a 9inch rear from Quick Performance, do you think it could be the rear that's off?

The rears on these cars were rarely centered. I used UMI adjustable upper and UMI adjustable lowers to get my wheels square with the rear end centered. My problem wasn't the frame side, my rear is 2.5" wider than the stock rear so it was the clearance wirth 1/4 panels that were my concern. As long as your tires are not rubbing I'd leave it be unless you are a virgo and demand perfection..

Brain told me to get adjustable upper or lower and he can fix it. I was trying to see if there was a fix without me spending another $500, so looks like I will be spending more money. Also my rotors look too small and I am going broke with this car.

I don't know about fixing it with either an upper or lower. You can move the rear side to side but you can't keep it square with only the upper or lower being adjustable

So I will have to get both of them. Did you use the double adjustable or the single ones?

 

[pontiacgp]

The top is double adjustable but the lower is single. You don't have to move it much. Why not pm Ramey or Ryan at UMI and see what they suggest

I will, thanks a lot for your help.

That really isn't that far off center. If you were to loosen the body mounts and slide it over 1/8" you'd be set. Not a big deal since the car is basically a shell right now anyway. Might effect the way the bumper fits the body though -- which could also be adjusted.
