Here's some I am just finishing up that are 20mm narrowed and I tweaked the camber on them so that they are at zero still when stationary even though car is lowered a little Wink

NICE WORK - Realistically how narrow could you go using that technique and retain stock type 3 drums? - 25-30MM?

With custom axles yes looks like 30mm might be possible but until they are cut up its hard to say for sure

That's how I did mine many years ago.  Mine are narrowed 34mm each side.

Beware, your inner ball bearing will not fit.  That's because of the weld on the OD of the bearing housing being right at the bearing. Ideally, you would put the TA on your mill and bore it back to the stock diameter.

Have you checked the clearance between your tire and the tab that bolts to the spring plate?
