Progress Thread Hoopty v2.0 - It All Snowballed

Well, there's an issue and it kinda deflated all of my excitement. They sent me fox backspacing and I have SN length axles, so the rears stick out about a 1/2" past the outside of the fender. I'm going to have to buy fox axles now and then flip the caliper brackets, etc. etc.
It looks a lot worse than it really is here:



My annoyance is that I sent them all of these measurements and it seems like they saw fox body and just pulled out the generic stamp and let 'er rip.

Other than that, I love them. The fronts look great. Im going to get the tires mounted tomorrow and Ill post more photos.

These 10" wheels are steam rollers. I do have 1 3/8 to 1 1/2" on the inside so there's room to suck them in. I have 2 people I know with 285s on a 10" tire with no issues.

Did you contact them to see what happened? If they aren't built to the specs you sent them, maybe they will cover the cost of the axles/parts to make them work.

I talked with the vendor that sold them to me, not BC directly.

I ordered some axles, the ones in the car are already sold, I think. So that was easy

You didn't think you were going to get away with it all [that] easily, did you? :MustacheTwirlingSmiley:

For once, and by leaving it in the hands of professionals, I was hoping so.

I will always admit when I am wrong, and I was wrong. Ill let the photos speak for themselves.

What were you wrong about, the offset?

It does look like it's tucked up in there pretty good

Yeah, and I think they may still be able to tuck under more with shorter axles. But, Ill likely leave it alone.
