That is great to hear. It's nice knowing there are options to run much better tires than what are offered in 20".

Man that clearance is tight; but that's great news for those who want maximum performance! Should be quite a savings in unsprung weight too.

I'll let you know as soon as we get it back together. Going to be painted this weekend. Wheels weigh in at 22 lbs each.

Doc I think I can get 17" with some carefull planning. American Iron can run no larger than 14" rotors so I have to change the rears.
