Exactly. This is another reason many utilize the staggered front to rear combos.

Be prepared because even 7" wheels sometimes get close enough that it requires a little clearance work on those porky a-arm gutters. The OE disc brake 6" wheels are usually the ones that clear w/o issue. Aftermarket 7" wheels w/spec'd back spacing should be good.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
