But the alternative, the wire wheel conversion kit, makes the wheels
stick out farther anyway, so does it really matter?

nory, the diff housing is narrower by about 3/4" on the wire wheel car.
this compensates for the axles being slightly longer. if you usethe
steel wheel diff, the wire wheel axles will place the wheels furhter
apart - closer tothe fender lip with the result of potential tire rub.
