Correct. You would only have to clearance for the extra inch of outboard width, which shouldn't take more than a little firewall massaging at most.

 

yea, that makes sense. I didnt bash too much so if I needed it, theres room for more room...haha

 

The only issue I see with that is that if you do swap between street and trail tires, you would have to put the spacers on and off every time as well. The 17x8.5 0 offset wheel would have -25.4 offset with your spacer, so it would sit a half inch further in than your current wheels do, and the outside would be at the same location you currently are.

 

that is a good point, but I dont see the spacers taking more than 3-4 min/wheel (conservative, probably quicker) and if I went a decent trip once a month, I could accept that. the beadlocks already require quadruple check tq'ing haha so whats another couple mins.

valid point though and def something to think about.

 

If you're going to have two sets of wheels/tires I'd build DIY steelies and not worry about weight/balance. I'm liking these or similar due to their DD apeal. Working on selling the wifey on the safety/comfort aspect vs cost savings on the steelies. Still broke however......

 

haha I understand, the struggle is real. (i drive a struggle bus, trust me, I know haha)

yea I cant guarantee I would swap the wheels right away....may go a week or so before doing it

 

Either option let's you delete the spacers and retain stance. This was my plan as well.

 

found this pic trolling around on here. puts a new perspective on my own welding skills haha



everyone's gotta learn somehow right? (def not trying to bash the person by any means! I just didnt think anyone would keep something like that and at least practice a little more before putting it on a vehicle)

 

They obviously couldn't afford a grinder.

 

you f**kers.
I mean that literally with all these babies showing up.
Did you all forget that that shit is contagious among women folk?







4th carseat mod pending.

 

Fortunately, with the advent of modern science they've determined the actual cause of this issue. I am perfectly happy at avoiding it, and enjoy my zero car seat mod status.

 

Also, congratulations.

 

I see a minivan in someone's future...

 

40% off those Geo's is tough to beat.

 

Does anyone have 1 stock 2nd gen 16" wheel they want to get rid of?
