Hmm, other threads on this forum say a stock 8" rally will hit the A-arm or tie rod end. Even McGaughy's told me I'd need a narrower wheel with less backspacing. Wonder what's different about your setup. ???

I had to grind a minimal amount off the tie rod end to clear the rim. I also had to use stick on weights instead of the old hammer on weights.

Geez...now that's close. I didnt have any issues like that when I had the oem rallys on my square. The clearance issues I had was the lower control arm rubbing the inner edge of the wheel just enough to rip the weights off.
