Haven't ordered the wheels yet, but I'll need to get adapters for them regardless, from 114>120. I'm not going to base the offset on my drop right now, I'll throw on the rim and compress the spring till the rim is where I want it to sit. Im gunna test a few variations of offsets with other rims before I make the purchase.

Well technically it's 114 to 120... since I am adding the adapter onto the hub and not the rim lol.

thanks man,
I want to go more low, but my drive way has a tree root growing under it, pushing the two cement slabs to an "A" point almost.

I still scrape everyday, but I still ride em!

Shame you can't go lower... save up and go with a UAS kit so you can lift it up over that tree root and slam it back down afterwards.

Update: Ok guys well i got my rear fenders pulled and everything fits! But now i am having rubbing issues with the tire meeting the rear bumper. Im going to the alignment shop next week to bring the camber back in hopefully that will reduce rubbing. If not then i will have to run a smaller rear tire. (245/30/19) on 10.5 wheel. Anyone running that rear tire size?
