Author Topic: Narrowing Wheels AJBlackGT ¯ Member # 3936 posted                              I just got my complete tubular suspension and coilovers installed today and now I have a clearance issue with my 17x9 cobra r and the d&d coilovers. I dont want to go to a shorter spring. Is there any place in the area that will narrow my wheels a couple inches for a reasonable price? -------------------- 90 Notch Posts: 1896 | From: Sacramento | Registered: Dec 2003  |  : 1Sicgt CAFords OG Member # 714 posted                              something doesn't sound right. You got any pics of the install or after. -------------------- 14 Focus TS ST3 full Stg3, ready for bigger Turbo 2003 Cobra Track Car Posts: 8145 | From: Hitting the Apex | Registered: Jan 2002  |  : AJBlackGT ¯ Member # 3936 posted                              I can get pictures of evrything installed. I havent tried to align the car yet and the CC plates are still not set, they are just loose. The wheels tilt outward on each side. What pictures exactly do you want to see, i'll get them.

It still fits even with the 14" spring and 9" wheels if you do a little grinding. -------------------- 90 Notch Posts: 1896 | From: Sacramento | Registered: Dec 2003  |  : PurpleNotch CAFords OG Member # 2902 posted                              -------------------- **The creator of the infamous purplenotch** http://www.mustang50magazine.com/featuredvehicles/m5lp_0508_1988_ford_mustang_lx/index.html Posts: 3177 | From: Bay area | Registered: Jun 2003  |  :
