Jim / Joe -
Those new wheels are badass! What size M/T fronts do you run? I traded Frank A
some parts for his old Holeshots, so I need to get some tires.
Thanks

These are MT 28 x 4.5s. We had DS-2s that were listed as 28 x 4.5s The rollout of these were the same as a MT 27.5 x 4.5 /The 28 x 4.5 MT is a touch bigger and does fit. Take it easy on the turnoff though...

We called Larry Hodge and he got them right out. The rims are really nice too. We put the lug nut adapters on and saved some more weight.

Hey Paul...they are badass! You can get them anodized in about 14 differant colors and if you buy the two piece wheels you can change up the centers! How FN' sweet is that! They are in the process of making a Blackout line of wheels...can't wait!

Thanks, Jim. One more....did it take any "massaging" of the fenders?

Rayburn warned me about them..... A cars will give them the wop wop... It did! Chad R., ready to deal?

No, but your turning ability is limited by ride height more than anything. One way you hit the fender, the other the fenderwell headers. No biggie if you are careful, but you have to be cautious on turns. You won't see us taking the short turn off from the inside lane ever...
