Here's a thought that came up when I was on "my throne "

would it be possible to have the hub (or where the back of the rim mounts to...sorry I'm not that "learnded" yet) made 2 inches longer so you wouldn't need adapters or spacers? I'd imagine it would be more $$$$$ but then you wouldn't need to play around with loose or broken adapters.
So whacha think?

 

Hmmm...I could see that happening...you'd have to cut every mounting point of the spindle meaning the strut mount, the tie rod mount, and the a arm mount. Then you'd have to somehow extend those peices possibly by welding in chunks of metal in the gap. Which would in turn push out the spindle causing a different offset. But...I dono really though about that if it would be that strong.

Or you'd have to extend the a arm..which could be done. Possibly you could make/have someone make a longer a arm. Then you could just extend the tie rod to correct the steering. Then the strut should be able to bend an more of an angle. Or you could make some type of bracket for the strut.

The other way you coudl probably do it...is make a thick *** steel spacer and weld it onto the spindle O_o haha

 

Eh, too much trouble.

An easier way would be to go with a tubular contol arm. Make that longer and make a bracket to reposition the shock back in. That way all but the a-arm would be different... hmmm.

 

thats one of the things I said to do haha
