Run a spacer or get different trailing arms. Wayne with VCP sells modified trailing arms.

I put a washer between the rod end and frame and had a longer spacer machined on the outer side of the rod end so it pushes the trailing arm towards the engine bay and cleared up close to 1/4, a bit less I think.

I did a combination of EODTech87 and Frank's suggestions: Got Wayne's trailing arms and played around with the spacer washers where the arms mount on each end so that they are further inboard. Mine clear just fine with 9.5" wide wheels and 265 tires.

Thanks for the reply, I ended up putting my donor trailing arms back on and there is plenty of room, not as cool looking but will work for now. For the future will add spacers. I put a 3mm washers and seems to be fine, but will probably run a 5mm to be safe, but then need longer studs. The issue I ran into was when I spun the wheels the seems to wobble, the brakes were rubbing at a certain point. took the calipers off, and checked the rotor and is was straight. Put the wheels on without the brake disk and got the same wobble.

I went with the different trailing arms as well and that worked for me.
