okay results... so far i need 4 inches(for good suspension travel) on back side for 2 inch wheel spacer , and with math the body mount wont be an issue once tire is outward.
since 4 inches is hard to get without severe pounding... imma do as stated. gonna look wierd i find but meh gotta do it..
4-5 inch body lift so add 3 more inches to current(replacing current) then trim fenders, since i wont be able to use stock flares imma try and see about some flares from a ranger or colorado or such will work but since i wrote off my cavalier in the weather im back to driving the truck so maybe over holidays il pop my 2357515 and use the shop
also thanks Bryce, Alfon for the help, i may have been long and lack of organizational skills but i was never good at it ..lol once i get the spacers il get pics and post what i had to do in more detail..
Coor.. the link... just send him off an email on what u want www.novustech.ca

UPDATE: used 1.5 inch spacers/adapters and they actually worked out perfect.. here is pictures of outcome...
Also regardling laws for tires in ONTARIO Canada for tires sticking out .. this is from the HTA :Every motor vehicle and every trailer shall be equipped with mudguards or fenders or other device adequate to reduce effectively the wheel spray or splash of water from the roadway to the rear thereof, unless adequate protection is afforded by the body of the motor vehicle or trailer or by a trailer drawn by the motor vehicle. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 66 (3).
IT states REDUCE not eliminate.. I even called MTO myself to verify this and I was told just don't drive in the rain LOL now ive driven in snow storms with snow flying unfortunately right at an unmarked suburban and he did nothing from my rear wheels.. I ordered a set of flexy flares anyway and ordered a rear trailer protector skirt to put in trailer reciver to protect vehicles from rear throwing stuff and will be easily removed when bush riding...
Front clears nicely as it is for current road driving but if you look at pictures you will see what I need to clear out for suspension flex in the spring for off-roading.
This Shows how the 15X8 rims 5.5 backspace with 1.5 added and 33X14R15 tires
Vertical picture to show how far out from stock flares .... ^^^^
Shows front fender clearance with tire turned half way ^^^^^ so tire is at furthest pivot
Shows rear fender side @ max pivot ^^^^^^ also gives a good indication of what I need to trim out before I can go out in bush and get that suspension flex moving ... .. also found this thread: https://dodgeforum.com/forum/1st-gen...html?styleid=6
amongst a few others on making these fit ...
