really? i checked both in the air and on the ground. what size tires are you running? wheel width? i'm assuming a 10" rear width; am i wrong?

They're 9.5s with 275-30-19s. I don't have any great pictures of the rear showing the tire size and offset. This is about the best I can do.

I am pretty sure we needed spacers because they wanted the lip as big as possible so they moved the hub back as far as possible, hence we needed a 7mm spacer to set it away far enough so it didnt hit. BTW if you ever want the feeling of the good old days on the farm, get the wheels I got, use the stock bolts plus extended ones for the rear, and dont put on the ring adapters, and its just like your driving a tractor. But ya, I wish I could afford some PS2's, enjoy those for both of us Randall.
