Not a good day. I specifically got some rims w/ custom BS of 3.5". Stopped at discount tire last night after work to test fit some new meat. Guess what doesn't fit? F'ING RIMS!
I'm REALLY pissed about it, but i know they won't do anything about it. It's an odd rim (why i like it) and it just doesn't have enough taper to clear the caliper... So my really cool rims now need spacers...
Where do you guys find good quality ones? the whole point was to not use spacers and clear everything. Also - does it look odd to do spacers for the front, but not the back? Back should be fine since drums.
One day i'll have new tires and show off the Stockton Rims.
I know i should ask Stockton about these, but i've been gathering parts for years and these are 3-4 years old (new in box), waiting to finally be used... So i'm 100% sure i am SOL on that angle. I may ask, but even paying for shipping back would be $$, and better off using that $ getting new/cheaper rims at that point.
if it mounts up but the rim freezes on the caliper - how thick should i go on spacer? .25 - .50 or thicker? Or grind a bit off (problem?)?!? There is that horzontal tab mid caliper that it rocks on and it looks like slight contact on leading edge/corner of caliper...
thx guys!
