Default LG drop spindles and CCW wheels

Anyone with a C5 or C6 using LG drop spindles with 18 inch CCW wheels?
I need to see a picture of the modifiction to the lower rear control arm to clear the wheel.
Thanks

I'm running Forgeline's and Finspeed's 18's in the rear with my LG drop spindles but it's basically the same modification for all 18"x13" rear wheels. If you can find the build thread on here that Katech put up for my car (think it's Katech Street Attack #50) I think there should be some pictures of the modification that they had to do to my lower control arm. If the pictures are no longer there just shoot me a PM with your e-mail address and I'll crawl under the car and try to shoot you a few pics.

Hmmmm....is THAT happened? I thought it was due to a worn toe link. Seems mine have "self-clearanced" at this point. Kinda wish LG would have put in some instructions in the box to let me know that but I do have to say they are an awesome product with excellent quality.

Agree with Werks.

Depends on on the wheel size and offset. When going a wide 18" wheel, you typically have to clearance the lower arms.

19" and 20" wheels not a problem at all that we have seen.

Let me dig though my pics on the computer and see if I have anything.
