Buying lca's won't adjust the width or bring in the wheels. If you managed to get shorter lca's it would only bring the bottom of the wheel in, resulting in positive camber and goofy suspension geometry. You could put some fender flares on it...

Replacing wheels is how you will bring them in under the car. However if you wanted to push them out there are a few options...

camber kits will help bring in the top but i wanted to bring it in evenly top and bottom.

so the geometry wont be affected.

yes this is a common problem with EF's...

Do you understand how the suspension works?

Shorter LCA's would make your car look like a low rider when it's lifted

I don't know. They were 13x10 with a 4" or 5" backspacing. They're by Diamond Racing so they don't go by the millimeter offsets that we're used to...

It's possible for the fronts pretty easily

No Fender Liners
Trim/Pull Fenders
Camber
Overfenders

I don't think anyone makes adjustable LCA's. sorry. Either camber in the top, change wheels or live with it.

why don't you just bring your fenders out a little; any body shop will be able to do that;
something like that if you don't have a rim that is too wide;

to answer your question.. yes for the rear at least:

http://www.summitracing.com/search/b.../?autoview=SKU

combined with an upper camber arm it can bring in the wheel a bit.

As for the fronts, there aren't any shorter arms that I know of. You would need to do a combo of fender rolling / over fenders as other people stated.

We already answered your question.

Camber Kit.
Fender Roll

If you don't want to do that you're SOL because it won't work any other way, buy diffrent wheels.

Not threadjacking or anything but... lol. I guess in that situation you might be better off putting those wheels inside out.
