So I decided I need to improve traction. I did some measuring and test fiting. Originally I test fit a 315 BFGoodrich D/R on my 10" wheel with absolutely no rubbing but the narrow wheel was noticeably pinching the wheel. Not to mention this tire is only about 25.5" in overall diameter making it a very short tire leaving a BIG fender gap.
Now I know they are not the fanciest wheels but I've grown attached to them not to mention they are not expensive so if something went wrong I wouldn't be out a whole lot. Plus a good friend runs the Belle Tire shop in town and is giving me a hand. So I decided to send one wheel over to Weldcraft and had them add in 3/4 of an inch for a test run. Its back and the rubber is mounted!
The inner wheel wall does rub against the bump plate when the suspension is almost completely decompressed. At ride height there is plenty room. I didn't get a chance to take it for a test spin since the combo wasn't balanced yet but I dont foresee any problems. If need be I can cut and reweld the bump stop plates to give me any additional room necessary....So what do you guys think?
