Hey EZ, one thing what did you use for a spacer if you used on at all?
Thanks

No spacer needed for fronts, havent done rears yet, Cabo said to do it just like the pullback wheel mod which should work for this.

depending on which pullback mod you do, there might be a nub already on it, but in that same article I explain how I chopped off a nub of another set of rims to use as a nub on the pullback fronts that went all around.

If this is eluding to the issues with proecting them through shipping, I took Cab's suggestion and have put the spings around some toothpicks to help them maintain their shape.

Otherwise, as usual, I have no idea "wat jou talking 'bout willis!".
