ok so what you are saying then is that you have something like 1/8 of an inch clearance before wheel weights.
just trying to get info in order, when i go home for christmas i'm going to re-look at the calculations and information i gathered about wheel offsets and the like, and come up with a range of acceptable wheel offsets for the bird, for 17 inch rims.
rolltide, i think you emailed me or something, about different tires front to back. this is generally a bad idea, as it can affect the ABS system. i'm not sure what the tollerances of the system are, but i suppose if the difference is not too much between the diameters then it should be allright.
thats why i'm running all four with 255's right now. when i get some money, i plan on having 245's in the front with 275's in the back, but the aspect ratios will be different, making the tire diameter the same, front to back.
thanks guys.
