i never was comfortable running spacers so i ground the front brakes. didnt take long and imo looked better.

but i picked up a spare set of spacers just in case from a local rim shop for like 20 bucks for a set of 4

because i ilke how the 275/50/15 will fit on a 8in rim... if i went with a 10in wide rim, id want a wider tire... but thers nothing thats wider... and still 26inches tall... everything else... DR wise is a 28inch tire.

yea im going to daily drive M/T dragradials btw... 275/50/15s.... theyre 26x11.5x15.... 10.5 tread width... ought to hook just fine., lol.
