Another kinky, but very plausible, idea is to install Mcpherson struts for the front suspension.  i think you can get all the parts in kit form for under $2000.  You would use rack+pinion vs. the existing steering.  If you can weld, the whole system can be put in place in probably 2 days.  This, i think, would be the easiest, cheapest way besides the offset wheel idea.  This is in case the offset idea doesn't quite do it for you.

Thanks for all the insight folks.  I will look into all the options and determine which will best suit my build.  Will provide an update once I have decided......Don't hold your breath, it may be a while.
