I was thinking about this one....how much clearance does the tire have to the fender when lowered like pics in post 53? That is probably the limiting factor on being closer to the outside edge.
That has to be it... I didn't do a radically dropped build, but I also became aware of the sucked in look of the track on many IFS systems out there. Almost all are based on a 56.5 to 57" track (basically stock). When I did mock-ups at various drops with 235/70 tires (7" rims -4" backspace) noticed that with a 59" track, the tires didn't looked sucked in and also looked more centered in the fender. However, I only did a 2" drop with a 59" track - going really low could cause clearance problems to the fender where it rolls back in.

Note: I think Scott's offers various track withs for dropped ADs. Heists used to offer a 60" track option. Those firms might know more about clearance issues.
