    Hey there, guys,

    Hope you'll forgive my ignorance, but I'm wondering if any of you have ever had clearance problems on 1949-1951 Ford cars, running Cadillac sombreros on all four wheels.

    Note: when I say sombreros, I mean the first series, 1947 or 1948 to 1952, I believe--either the 15-inch or 16-inch variety.

    I'm wondering if you've ever had rubbing problems, either on the inside of the quarter panel, or the fender lip.

    Reason I ask is, the "hat" part looks pretty tall.

    Thank you!
