New Wheels are on. It's a tight fit on sharp turns.

Wow! That looks awesome. Though to be completely honest ('cause that's what real friends are for, right ), the vans lines would be accentuated if either you or your wife were posing next to afore-mentioned van.....in like a speedo or bikini, you know?

Just tryin' to help....

thanks BH!

My wife has mixed feelings. Apparently the new noises on sharp turns and navigating our complex with the tight turns and speedbumps is a turn-off. I think she equates the occasional rubbing with less safety. She really loves the van and for right now doesn't feel as comfortable with it. I'm not sure what to do about that but assure her she has better grip/traction and brand new tires that will last a few years and is overall safer (and sexier). She'll have to take turns just a bit wider and slow down more on those speed bumps. I've been used to it for a couple years now, but she never liked driving my van unless she had to.

I think once she gets out on the open road she'll feel differently. Her work is the next parking lot over, no real reason to drive, but the whole thing is like an obstacle course. That's all the driving she's done so far.

I can't really see how far the rims stick out in those pictures, but would spacers help with the rubbing/turning? Just a thought, not implying that you should make it stick out 10 feet, or even an inch. Slow down man, your making it hard for me to catch up... now I'm gonna have to order new rims.

[PharmAstrocist]

Spacers? I don't know... the rubbing does appear to be on the inside wall.

1/8"


1 1/4"

"WheelSpacers to push the your track width as wide as possible. Or maybe you just need some tire clearance for your trailing arms or tie rods. These adapters are extremely solid, please don't worry about that. In fact, your rims would break before these adapters. Similar adapters are used on track racing cars without problem!"

the rims def. look good. i like.

I have a problem now with a slight rubbing when I make sharp turns when backing up since I got my new rims. I going to probably just trim a little on the inside wheel well to fix it.

Looks good!
