Fourtrak alloys

Post by Sexuki » Sun Jul 24, 2011 10:24 am

Hi
Thought I'd pick myself up some fourtrak wheels the other day for a bargain £130 with 235 75 15's saharas on them.
I was dead excited, chucked them on and unfortunately they rub the leafs on full lock

Just wondering if you guys thought them 32mm spacers from bits4vits will stop this happening?

I'm also a bit bothered that if I put spacers on I'll end up in the same ruts that landy's make
Needing more ground clearance

I also have started putting my add a leafs on after i took this pic so it doesn't look like a low rider (on one side at least) anymore!
Cheers dudes

I seem to remember someone saying: Get billet machined ones.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

Well, could be good news. Spoke to Richard (rockwatt) today and he reckons just increase the length of two of the bolts that hold the ring round the kingpin and he says it restricts the movement in the steering as the bolts act as a stop !

Havn't checked it out yet but hopefully that will do it cos I can't afford any spacers really and it only needs about half an inch less lock to stop it doing it! Interestingly he said the same, "get billet spacers if you have to get them"

Pays your money takes your choice I suppose .?.?.
