What Happens to Folks?

The previous rims I do not recall the offsets but they were 14x7s (I had to use one inch spacers up front) and 15x8s in the back is what the current owner used I just changed the mags last year. Right now I am currently using 15x7s up front and 15x8s in the back. If I remember rightly the front wheels I added a quarter inch wheel spacer and longer studs to give me some clearance and the back wheels I use the one inch spacer and took a little bit off the studs to make the rims fit because I couldn't get the offset I wanted. I'm not too sure about wheel spacers on the drive tires but I'm not cranking serious horsepower out of it so I'm not too worried the attached pics are the wheels I ordered from jigs I did swap out my center caps with the old mags.

I could see the 14's being an issue. Did you re-check w/the 15's & they required the .250" spacer?

I guess the SPC arms are usually intended for an app that would most likely have had larger diameter 'performance' wheels which likely would have cleared.

What's up w/the spacers between the BJ base & the bottom of the BJ end-plate? I'm guessing that's part of the issue.
I know my SPC arms didn't have any spacers.

Wonder how that shiny new flex fan is working out?

Hopefully it didn’t take him out.

Hopefully it didn’t take him out.

If it did, I'm sure it was somebody else's fault.

I see we went from "what happens to folks" to "what happens with wheel spacers". whoa

That would be incorrect. It went from "what happens to folks" to a comment about the guy that swapped to a flex fan & another comment from a guy that used wheel spacers which were related to the topic of people popping in when needing info advice & not necessarily posting daily.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE WHEEL SPACERS!!!!

Back onto topic - how many members would you recognize in public if you ran into one? Rarely do we get a picture of a member with their car, except the flux core splatter master with a helmut on?

Don't knock fluxcore.

We are working on details for a West/Prairies meet up to address just this problem. I expect Rktpwrd to throw a flaming punch my way once he gets a clean shot.
