Colorado B.S. Thread

I have been looking at those Ray 10s in that size and talking to Vin. I might be making a switch to those in the spring. Just an awesome wheel!

 

So if an alignment doesn't fix the issue I should try .75 wheel spacers? I really don't wanna buy new wheels right now

 

It will depend on your wheel. With a .75" spacer the studs just barely poke out past the spacer. If the back of your wheel has indents and isn't smooth you could run a .75 spacer. If it is flat the wheel will not properly seat on the spacer.

 

You are correct. I'll redo it..
So, again, orange is existing, approximately. If your spacer is 1.25", that gives a bs of -32 with a 0 offset 16x8 wheel. I'm trying to shoot for better accuracy here...

The SCS wheel is 16x8 with 4.0 backspacing which is equal to -12 offset.
this is in green.

 

I came across a thread for trading out hoods so it got me thinking, and I figured I'd throw it up here. I've got a 2nd gen MGM with out a scoop, and would love a scoop. Always thought it looked 1,000 x better. I'm even willing to deal with the glare

Anyone got a scooped hood in MGM that would like a non scooped hood?

 

Also keep in mind that while the alignment changes my help you from hitting the CMC and fender with your current BS (3.25") still cause you to hit the frame A LOT a full lock due to the scrub radius as Brett was explaining. You would still benefit from reducing your BS.

 

If it were me, for now, and it's rubbing the CMC just driving around town...
I'd remove the spacers and just mount the wheel.
It may rub the frame, but again, don't turn that far. It will also tell you right away what may need to be done to get the clearance you are looking for

 

Brett is this showing the vertical SR? Do you also have something like this that show how it affects the SR in the turning radius?

 

It does not.
Here is what I am working with, this is the calculation used for that last pic. What is helpful is knowing the existing setup and how it is performing, then you can try different wheel/tire combos and it shows how the tire and wheel fit in comparison.

 

But he would need to also make sure the UCA clears the tire. I would think it should but it's a good thing to check.

 

This chart is a must have when doing your calculations..

 

Exactly what I mentioned earlier. This is all speculation without seeing it in person.

 

That's cool. I bookmarked it.

 

Damnit. I struggle without coffee.

 

Yep, I wish I would have found it before I bought my last set. The wheels I ended up with worked, but I could have ended up with something more to my liking if I had done some better research.

You have me worried. Stock suspension, stock wheels with 1.25" spacer, big cab mount chop and a lot of time with a bfh. I think I still need to move my caster but I get 35s thrown on next week.

 

Oh boy

 

Don't

 

Too late
I will make them fit.
