I'm getting frustrated dealing with getting a new factory turbo cv axle and I'm tempted to just go with awd dsm axles. I already have Expo spindles and hubs. I though the dsm axles would work like that but now I read I have to have Elantra control arms too. I really didn't want to push the tires out wider like the Elantra control arms do. But I may not have a choice.

Just how much wider do the tires sit? It seems like I won't be able to have a lowered car then because the tires will hit the fenders unless I run massive negative camber. Anyone have pics showing just how much it pushes the tires out?

It should be in my build thread, I want to say 3/8" but I'm not sure.
