Man..you missed a lot..lolOriginally Posted by Matt
Can you elaborate on the "no rubbing during daily driving" comment? I've been away all week so not very read up on recent happenings. ..
How close are the tires at full lock? (To those unaware, I know you removed the rear HVAC lines for clearance which is key)
Did you trim anymore up front or modify the pinch weld beyond what's normally done yet?
Wheel width/backspace specs (plus 1/4" spacers right?).
And more pictures!!
The Wheels are 17x8 5on5 4.5 BS Black Rock Series 997 (similar to Cragar soft 8). They didnt clear the front caliper brackets so I had to have some custom wheel spacers made by Fred Groeske out of Cali. The spacers are hub centric to the Jeeps hub, wheel centric to the Black Rocks center bore (3.3 inches). I have absolutely no rubbing front or rear during normal everyday driving. As you know I did the rear ac/heat mod and got rid of the lines that go behind the passenger side front tire. I also cut out the entire pinch weld area which gave me about 2-3 more inches of clearance beyond the normal pinch weld mod of bending it over. My friend is going to be welding in new sheet metal there to help strengthen it up in the next week or so. As you can see from the pictures, I trimmed a little bit off of the corner of the front fender flares for extra clearance. Nothing has been done to the rear yet but will be adding a 1 inch bump stop spacer (2 inch body lift spacer that I had a friend cut in half for me) so that I dont push the tires to far up into the wheel well. Im still trying to figure out what else I can do to the rear flare. I have a few things in mind but im waiting to get the jeep to my friends house who has a plasma cutterI drove over a few curbs this weekend and still had no rubbing.
