    Why not order one wheel from summit they're like $55 and try it on. If it doesn't fit send it back, if it does, order 3 more. lol

    Honestly, I'll probably grind my calipers down a little bit this spring, maybe 1/8th of an inch, just to be safe!

    I may do it. I'll have to try it on all 4 corners though... That way I can run 16s all year! Black 16s with some fat meat!

    I would still change the calipers and bridges to an older model.

    I understand that they work, but if you get a wheel bearing that goes out even the slightest bit, you are gonna cut your wheel in half or grind the living hell out of it.

    Just a safety precaution.
