LOAF,
The shock towers will not be an issue with clearance. My '87 arms with 9 inch wide ET 70 wheels clear everything with room to spare. The pivot bolts on the trailing arms have 87 ft- lbs of torque from the factory, and have several notches in the bolt head so the surrounding metal can be peened over in the notches to keep the bolts from backing out. If you don't un-peen the bolts, they can be a PITA. One thing that helps with frozen nuts and bolts is PB blaster penetrating catalyst that i got from O'Reily auto parts. If possible spray some on and let it sit a day or two.
