16"x10" Rims Foul On Tie Rods Help Needed

Post by vSAHARAx »

ok have a bit of a prob,

Was gonna put mickey thompson 16x10 Classic lock rims on the cruiser but they just foul on the tie rod

What can i do, i need a solution by tomorrow morning, a couple of options are:

1: wheel spacers - would only need to be around 7 mm or so, would they put a heap more stress on studs etc etc it?? Dont wanna hear about legal issues please.

2: Is there any way shape or form i can get different bracket thing that connects the tie rod to the swivel (those arm things)

3: how much different are the 15x10?? i really really want the 16's they look shite hot!!!

Any other ideas on making them for or if you have had a similar problem how did you overcome it????

Cheers Troy

Maybe look for larger offset rims or wheel spacers will be the way to go, maybe with longer studs. Maybe you will have to go 16 x 8 with around -25 offset. I have a new set of ADVANTI's for sale. :D
