What size are the bottom tires? At 14" wide sounds like you will need to widen the tubs some. From the face of my brake drum to the inner lip of the quarter panel is 8.5". From the face of the drum to the inner side of wheel tub is 5". From the face of the drum to the coil spring is 9.5". Looks like 7" of backspace would be just about right to keep them close but not right on the quarter. Looks like about 3" of tub widening would give you 1" gap between tire and tub

Most women like the strong, silent type… Fortunately for me, my wife prefers the out-of-shape, mouthy type.
