A few people do make wheels for the Viper (the 10" from the front of the

* Kinesis

Most of these run around $3K-4.5K for a set of 4...<<

Craig,
I've been contemplating the 10" Viper rim over the last few months. They
fit perfectly on the 4x4 suspension components, mainly due to the
reduced knuckle size and narrower upper A-arm. When you say they fit do
they just clear the top of the upper knuckle and A-arm by 1/4" or 1/2"?
I sort of guestimated that on the 4x2 the front inner rim edge would be
about 1/4" above, but the turning may be hindered by the edge of the
A-arm.
Both the front 10" and rear 13" seem to have 4"(+1.5" f/s over stock)
front space which should fit well with the 97 flare extensions. Has
anyone else been thinking this way (if money were no object) ?

Garth
