Default 19s and front clearance


Let's try this again...I bought some Forgelines, and am having a slight issue with the brake duct work up front not clearing a wheel weight. Seems like a simple fix to have them rebalanced and move the weight a little further inboard of the wheel.I am running 265 RE71Rs, and have not seen/heard/read about anyone having any other clearance issues...just want to make sure nobody is slicing the duct work to accommodate the rubber.Gratuitous inappropriate touching picture...

Think you answered your own question. Re-balance and move the weights in. I'd prefer that over cutting the duct.

I had the same issue with 19's on my GT4. I cut the ducts, and pretty heavily at that. Removing the wheels weights from the inner part of the wheel didn't do the trick for me.

Tin snips work well for a tidy cut.
