The minor problem that you will run into, is that there is no "meat" to drill into in that area of the cross member. What I did, was just tack welded a small piece of scrap metal in in position that I wanted to use as the center. I hope I didn't over confuse that for you?

The wheels are Cragar Soft 8

17x8 front & 17x9 rea, with 4.5 " & 5" backspacing. I am also using CPP's modular spindles, so that's moving my spindle in a little more than a stock application
