Update...

Put the twists on. Used 43mm on the rear. Shredded tires.

Tires are (were) 255/45-17.

Should have listened to ArthurPE.

Well at least you can now replace the 255/45/17s with 255/40/17

(Been there.. with 285/30/18 Pirelli P-zeros )

Yes, on the outter shoulder. I definitly need to get the correct tire size on there and back the spacer off a bit. When I got them mounted I thought to myself, man that looks close. But then thought, well I'll take it out and see how it goes. Once around the block was enough to do the dirty deed!
