    Oh! Hey, that's slick (play on words even though I don't think you'd be putting them on the back, lol).
    I missed what tires you're going to use on the fronts...definately skinny's but have you been able to find a tire that won't blow at a 118 mph trap? :bigwink:

    ^------- Update - just read your first post regarding the M&H Frontrunners..."nevermind"

    I was going to order another set of the Cobra R wheels that I run on the back

    and have them narrowed,but I couldn't justify the money they would cost.So I got the SXT spare tire rims which are about $80 each depending on the relationship with your dealer.

    They weigh 15 lbs and supposedly the tire does as well.In the future when I can justify it I will upgrade the wheels to the Centerlines.

    The $60,000 question: Do you have the spacers yet, and will this package actually fit SRT-8 brakes?

    I can't wait for confirmation, as I'm all over this!

    Spacers will be coming soon.....but as said before.....if the full 17x7 SXT wheel fit that Superbee with a 1.25" spacer why won't this?

    Makes reasonable sense that a spare would have the same offset...you've prolly already fit it by now, Erik - more pics!!!

    yes.....they dropped the 14x1.5 studs due to the cost.....I am trying to talk them into doing them.I don't want the 12x1.5 they sell standard.I will be talking to them tomorrow about sending them the extra studs I have so they can drill them to the right size and I'll just press in my own studs.

    Any update? What's wrong with the 12 mm bolts, especially on a non-drive wheel (i.e. - no torque)

    well,considering the hole on the rim is designed for a 14mm stud I am concerned the lug nut will not be large enough to seat properly on the taper.
