Default c5 1 in. narrowed a-arms

I have a fried who is a well know chassis builder and he was thinking of offering chromoly A-ARMS for a c5 vette. They will narrow the front track by one inch to make the front runners fit up under the fender. Basically he was wondering if there was a market for the a-arms. Price would be around $750.00 as they would not be mass produced and would be lightweight moly. What do you guys think.

Kind of confused here, my front skinnies on CCW 16" classics fit up under the fender just fine. Maybe the wheels you have don't have the right offset?

They fit flush like a corvette rim. A narrowed a arm sets the rim and tire in a bit so you don't have a wagon wheel. IMHO I will try to get some pics up. I am not on much.

Strange brakes and front runners pushes the wheels out a bit. Any updates with the A-arms? I wish the price could be closer to $600. LOl! thanks!
