Hey guys. So i FINALLY got off my butt and pulled a rim/tire off to test fit a new rim. I used some washers to figure out how thick of a spacer i need to clear the caliper. i definitely need thicker than .25". I started w/ 2 washers and it didn't work.
Here's some pics:
Put 3 washers - didn't fit.
4 worked:
4= 3/8" (very close).
With 4 on:
This shows how much thread is left - enough?!? or do i need longer studs? (how is that done - pita?)
and some more misc. shots of TRE's - everything looks good clearance wise?
(also playing around with ULTRA wide lens - almost a fisheye) it's nice to hold the camera in the wheel well and get a decent shot... fast glass=good. (Tokina 11-16mm 2.8)
So 4 work and are about 3/8" - from that pic should I get 3/8" or 1/2" spacers? Studs too short? TRE's enough clearance?
Also - the rims i got custom BS are 8" or 9"? I threw the tape on them and got this shot. It looks like edge to edge 9", but i thought they were 8" rims... It doesn't really matter since i'm shooting for some 12.5" wide tires, but curious if i'm measuring this right.
Here is that shot:
crappy shot sorry...
alright i'll go calm down and quit uploading a ton of pics...
thanks for the help!
