Narrowed Front Beams (I need basic answers)

[vujade]

keeping your beam stock and running wider wheels and wider fenders will effect your steering in two ways.

First, you will increase the diameter or your turning radius
Second you will most like have to adjust your steering stops using wider wheels with a deep offset to reduce the amount of rubbing on your suspension

on my 71, I used narrow struts. this doesnt narrow the front end like a narrowed beam, just allows you to use wider wheels with a deep offset.
I still had to adjust my steering stop so I lost so of my turning radius.

I believe most people do not use narrowed beams because it is usually cheaper to buy wider fenders.

Wider fenders cost around $250 to $300 per pair
Narrowed Beam around $400
Narrowed Tie Rods around $100
Narrowed Sway Bar around $100
