Default Friggin lower control arm bolt!!!!!!!!!!

Any one else have a problem with the lower control arm bolt on there lowered spindles.Mine is a western chassis and it clearly says use 17" or bigger wheels.Well mabey not stock 17s as i even cut the stud right to the bottom of the nut and still wont clear.I have 20s to go on on just need some tires.Very frustrating as im using borrowed space as my father inlaw is not happy we have to delay the rebuild of a 68 firebird.Just venting now its beer time.

After some pondering i decided to just trim the spacer off the nut and shaved the out side of the nut to have a slight pitch toward inside the wheel and it was perfect,needs a slight alignment and ill have some pics up by this week.Thanx 08 for your help.Im happy again.
