layin' front

I'm sure this has been posted a billion times but i cant seem to find the threads. I'm lookin for some pics on how to lay a 20" wheel and keep the a/c. What do i have to cut on the a/c box. a list of the other things that need to be done will help lots too.

Re: layin' front

Beat me to it ^.

What's your overall wheel measurment?
The box mod i did is good to 28" inches before the wheel touches, so it might lay and touch the box but you'd be ok rollin low as far as busting a hole in it.

If you want total clearance you will have to angle the blower motor before you plastic weld it.
