sweet build
Newb question here, but what mods did you do to get the 6lug on the chassis? Does the entire knuckle swap over?Quote:

thought the 4wd rear ends where wider than the 2wd's? i could be wrong tho
You're correct they are about 3" wider from what I've found, but most of the late model wheels have a +31mm offset so it should "cancel it out". I'm just figuring it out as I go and won't know if this is all gonna work until the body is on.Quote:

What do you plan to do with the wheels you have in the picture above(the one with the frame)? I'm guessing they are 18?
Love the Kawi. I do miss my '04 ZX-10R. Sure was fast.
20" actually. My brother was wanting to buy them for a yukon he plans to get, but if he decides he doesn't want them then I'll probably throw them on craigslist.Quote:
