Steve, Bernd, Will ......
I bought chrome RT wheels for my truck. The offset seems to be a liittle
more/less and the tire sticks out of my wheel well...Plus, I lowered my front
another 1.5"....3.5" total looks great.....handles great....till I hit a bump
that is...SO, I have to either install
air bags / air springs (Patrick you listening?) so I can raise her up 2" on
days like today when I go to brooklyn or.....narrow the wheels, change the back
spacing so the wheel is inside of the well. Kabessshhh? I called the wheel
mfr....they say I can take off .300 off the backside of the wheel.....maybe I
could also take aliitle (.250?) from the rotor face (Bernd?). I have a machine
shop so it's no big deal. but thats 9/16 or so. I need 1 1/2 to 1 3/4.
So HHHHHEEEEELLLLLPPPPPP ME
