If you did swap to the standard offset arms it would only pull your wheels back 3/4 of an inch, as that is the difference between the standard and forward offset arms. I think you have other problems, with the k member and the forward offset arms you should only be 1 and 1/2 inches farther forward than stock. Hope you figure out the prob, good luck.

That;s what i read too. That looks like a hell of a lot more than 1.5 inches.

It doesn't look right at all.


Stupid question, but are the arms upside down? Can they be flipped over and used that way?

No the can only be installed one way on the car, and i think you ment are they on the wrong side, if the were upside down my coil overs would be pointing down

They're being awfully nice on cc. Jack should be able to give some hints on to which arms you have. Your pics looks similar to pics I've seen on cc or corral with kmembers and offset arms. They were also running different size tires. I'll see if I can find that thread.

You could dismount the tires and then set the rims on the dollies and roll it out.

do you have the a-arms reversed? like pass side on drivers and drivers on pass? granted the sway bar mount holes would not line up, but maybe you arent running a sway bar? that offset is absolutely crazy

Standard arms will only move the wheel back 3/4 of an inch, it will give you clearance to move the car but the wheel will still be too far forward it would seem.

I was gonna post earlier and say make some offset fenders as joke; if you did that then the front would be similar to the FR500.

I believe they only made one FR500, so I guess it would be pricey... or are you talking about the rims?
