    -Do the 4" spindles make your tire/wheel stick out any at all? Or is it in the same location as before the spindles? :confused:

    -What is the correct offset you need to look for when shopping for wheels if you have spindles? Is it still -12mm? :confused:


    Thanks guys! :D

    Yes they make the wheels stick out further up front. I'm not positive what Camburgs are but I think they kick each side out 3/4''. They recommend 4.5'' backspacing but I was able to get a set of rims with 4.75'' backspacing to work (there is less room between the tire and spindle as compared to when I had 4.5'' backspacing, but it doesn't rub so no worries).

    So Motos with a 4.5 backspacing and -12mm offset would work?

    Is the 3/4" noticable at all? COuld you put a 3/4" wheel spacer int he rears to make it look perfect?

    Yes it's noticeable....hasn't ever bothered me enough to get spacers in the rear so I'm not sure about that one.

    That last picture of sandmans truck tells it all. 1BKT was right, it is pretty noticeable. I'm not crazy about the way the front tires stick out like that. Since my lift is more for looks than performance, this may be a deal breaker.

    Sandman's truck is sick but the fronts look like they stick out more than 3/4" compared to the rears.

    hmmmm....well, thanks for posting those pics!

    nothing wrong with yamaha...it just doesn't match his red truck where EVERYTHING is color coordinated. Like the stitching in his leather.

    Well I snapped a quick cell phone pic must of had a shaky hand cuz my alignment looks a little off here.

    As you can see the front sticks out more than the rear. I'm not positive but when I bought my Allied Spindles the guy told me the stuck out 1'' per side. IDK if that's true or if they are the same as Camburgs now but hey you get the idea. 285 tire with 4.75'' backspacing.

    ^ I hate you for having Spindles.

    Ohhh yeah, I got mine used. However all Black Plastic has been ordered. Everything will be black. I've spent some $$$ on mods already.:mad:
