do u guys have to use a small spacer in the back to get them to line up with the wheel well, or does it depend on how wide of a tire u get?

Depends on the tire, some look lined up and some look a touch in.  Mine are close but not perfect, i have 295s. Probably the best pic i have to show it:

Well I had removed my quads prior due to lower control arms so i don't know if they would have hit or not, but other than moving one of my tailpipes over nothing else had to be modified.

I still have my qua shocks on the car and as i stated on the other thread i have to beat the inner fender wel, due to the tire rubbing against it in real sharp turns.


on the next picture, if you look on the very top of the tire were the tire and the fender well almost touch.

I am not running 18", but I have 17x10.5 bullits with 315/35's and all I had to do was flip my Quad shock over so the rod end runs up to the subframe instead of it running to the axle. I do not have any pics of it at this time or I would post.
