This is timely. I think I'm fighting what this fixes...
I put my 5-lug rears on yesterday and they're just a LITTLE lose. I was thinking I needed a spacer, but taking 5mm off the back might be easier. I can have a machine shop take that off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lw9jVBF2lOQ |

YMMV....... Jack |

YMMV....... The hubs actually come out relatively easy. (Not just "pull out" but I can get them in/out without the press.) I've already called PMS about 2 spacers and will see if I can get them here quickly. |

Took me a while to realize this is about modifying a later-model part.
But what is the point of this? Trying to gain 5mm clearance at the expense of modifying brake mounting? |
