Because you mentioned the 15 inch wheels, I know that you have spacers that move the rod end on the knuckle side of the steering down a little to correct the steering geometry. Do those fit inside 15 inch wheels? Or is the wheel not wide enough to cover that TRE? I decided on running 18's just for that reason. I was worried that your spacer would make the steering interfere with the wheel

The 15x7 Mopar ralley rims have 4.25" backspace. So they are all in front of the tie rods.

For your 18" dia super wide rims, I'll assume you are going to run like 5.5" or a little more even backspacing. That will get close to the tie rods. So much so, that you can not run the Magnumforce 2" dropped spindles with that much backspacing and a 17" rim. I bet a 18" would still have a problem.

Here's a link that shows the clearance issue with a 17" rim with 5.675" of backspace: http://www.moparfins.com/CLAIRDAVIS/Cobra_Wheel.htm
