Can you move the front end foward any? Look a little better and help keep the tire out of the fender.

I cant move the body back much more but i can about 2-3 inches...but i think im gonna trim the fender more...then i gotta find a place to make a front driveshaft cause the water pump is almost in the grill....and no room for a radatior or anything...its gonna be a driver/toy so i cant put it in the back

Looks to me like moving the body back 2-3 inches will be a big help. It may not seem like much, but that's quite a bit. Looks like you're havin fun with it tho!  a=f
