So now I expect the new rear 11" hollow spoke turbo twisties to come in tomorrow.
Then I will figure the spacer width required. Then I worry about what I thought I heard about crazy bearing wear rates if I go too spaced out. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smoke.gif) I think I want to use my Sheridan flares but......... If I use them I will need to space the wheels a substantial amount. I'm guessing >3"... Aren't all the guys using Sheridan flares either spacing out their fat rubber or using huge positive offset wheels? I'm looking for feedback from people who've actually seen or done this before. Thanks! Roger |
