i suppose it was too much to ask that everything would go together without a catch...the new, lowered spring perch rubs on the stock tire about 75mm above the lip of the rim...considering that i was intending to run wider wheels & tires, it would appear i have a problem...so now its off to find a set of wheels with enough offset to clear the perch but not enough to cause the tires to rub on the bodywork instead. i'm hoping i can still use Baja-style steel wheels like these:
