Looks mean as hell though. No rub in the front but my splash shields are not installed yet. _________________

If you change the angle, you run the risk of breaking the bead at any given time. Too much pressure, too little pressure, how the tire goes over a pothole, anything can affect the bead just enough to cause a blowout. Its kind of like trying to attach a 42* flare to a 37* flare. It works, but its not a good seal. _________________ Official V6 Bash "Bringer of Beers" Mrs 88cavalierz24 wrote: I don't like you. You're a prick.

Tire pressure has alot to do with it too. _________________ Official V6 Bash "Bringer of Beers" Mrs 88cavalierz24 wrote: I don't like you. You're a prick.
