Exactly!! That's why I didn't vote. there wasn't anything to vote for.

Oh shit, here we go again... Chris, stand back from the spoon...

I'm interested! and did vote. I'm running standard ride height and mine stick out and have already touched my fender while going over a bump. and i really dont like the look. if there is a safe, legit and easy way of pulling them in then i'm game...

Maybe I am stupid, but I don't get what the big deal is with the wheels sticking out beyond the fender.

This is a picture of my old 69 with disc brakes and a wide five adapter on rostyles. The tyre size was 165x 15.

I had no clearance problems whatsoever. The lip on the left fener had to be tweaked to clear on full suspension compression, but that was due to a bad repair of a dent on the fender.

Shane, the adapter I showed you just before you mopped the street clean of brand spanking new oil at R40/l

, the one I use to get past the "we can't balance wide five"-excuse, does the same as the one shown on Petrus...
