Wait until tomorrow Serge and it will make more sense but Robbie is correct and it will look very odd running the same size tires on a different size wheel especially running an inch difference in wheel widths.

As well as vice versa. Just landed in Charlotte. Connecting to sunny south Florida. Be home around 3 with more pics!

I really like the Charlotte airport. I've been there a couple of times and if you have a lengthy lay over there's plenty to do to pass the time rather than just sitting in the terminal I once had a 4 hour lay over there. It woulda sucked at most other airports!!

I used to fly out of Charlotte twice a week for 5yrs. I know this place like the back of my hand by now, lol.

Miss it up here. ALOT of talent here in Charlotte.

I will, I can't wait to see it ...

But I'm just like ScSS on this cause it bothers me how the rear tires are more receded than the front and I've been trying to find a remedy to no avail.

Can I put spacers in the back?

 

[THE YETI]

It's not the tires Serge, it's the wheels. That why we went wider in back to sit flush with the rear panel. I HATED how the asantis sat in.

And yea, you can do a spacer. I'd highly recommend seeing how far u need it to go out, have a custom made billet spacer (I actually think I have 4 at my house that would work for trial purposes), and go from there.

Just boarded plane in Charlotte. Tire guy said bring the wheels tonite and we can mock up some tires to see what sizes to run. Might end up with 285 in front.

this thread is now getting exciting! The anticipation is mounting

Mmm, something like this? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Whee...3284Q2em263QQitemZ250720210746#ht_1451wt_1182

Apologies for the derail, but I'm using the waitin' for learnin' ...

 

[THE YETI]

No. Don't be buying some eBay spacer. I have a company to use. I'll send you two of my spacers, try them out. See how they work for you. They were off my silverado, needed 3/8" spacer to clear my BBK. I have them sitting here in storage so we can use them to mock up your setup...

Ok, shutting down phone. Updates in 2hrs. Peace Out!!!

Ahh I see you went with some Intro Forged wheels.. I thought you were ordering asanti's again??

 

[THE YETI]

Nope. Screw Asanti. Never again...
