With 5 spokes I had to run a spacer to make to wheel sit out more because of
the snout on the hub.This cured the snout problem but cause the tire to be
under the lip in the wheel well.on a bump or when I had a passenger it would
hit , to cure (but with a slight raise in the height ) the coil-overs cured the
problem, Then I put EMPI Sprint Stars .They have a bigger opening for the
hub,so I didn't need the spacer , With out the spacer it doesn't hit .I could
roll with out the coil overs now but the ride is awesome.I usually run 145 up
front and 165's on the rear , but have 165 x 4 now. I,ll put the ride of my
truck up against any ones for comfort of ride.
