Given my recent experiences, you may want to plan for spacers in the front, assuming you want the wheel caps to fit. The clearance between the cap and hub cover is very tight at 37mm - 7mm spacer = 30mm ET. Also, I just got back from a run out to Sears for my new tool boxes, and found that the clearance between the sliding door and rear rims (ET 30) was way way tighter than I had thought to even consider. ET34 should be fine, but that's something folks should anticipate when considering upgrading rims. On Tue, Feb 24, 2009 at 1:56 PM, Troy <colorworks@gci.net> wrote: > That's great info Scott.
