Wheels mounted!... or... wheel, at least!
19x9.5" Axis Phin 275/35-19
Finally got the spacers and hardware. Went to mount them up today. Someone had told me they had used 15mm spacers in front and 20 in the rear with 19's and the spacing was perfect.
With this large of a tire, I knew that if there was going to be a rubbing problem, it would be with the control arm in the front. So I measured for my front spacer width by setting the front wheel as close to the inside as I could. I than added 5mm to that for the rears. Too big. Should have made them the same. The fronts are perfect. I mounted one of the front spacers (28mm) on the rear and it seems to be perfect. Looks really good at least.
Now need to find someone to shave 5mm off of two spacers.
A couple of pics of someone had requested. Hopefully I will have them all on by the end of the week and will post more.
The rear only
