Thanks scott I'm anxious to here how you come out if they work make me a
set.What I'm really trying to do is eliminate some of that side wall.
That's why I want to go to 14 or 15" rims. Then I should be able to go
to a 60 or maybe a50 sidewall and add some tread width. Are you
accountting for relative center positioning and associated bearing
loading?
It's folks like you that keep the LBC's charging
Thanks
