Thanks Beans, I don't have any and could not find a post with it nor remember which it was.
Just playing with wheel sizes and offsets to see what works and what does not. I still have dreams of a nice wide wheel and tires all tucked up in the original body with no flares. unfortunatly with very few choices available for wheels it leaves only 2 choices, adapters or new hubs. As for adapters. once you get to 7" and up wheels and include the thickness of an adapter yo still end up running out of space within the wheel well. And as for new hubs say in 4-100 etc.. well no one has stepped up to the plate for that yet and even if they do what will we do for the back?

Don't know if I will ever do it or not but I like to try and figure it out to see if it could be done. Tire choices are one main reason to think about it, not much left in 13" these days. if there were I would have my Cosmic wheels widened in a flash.
