Hi everyone, really wanting to get my spare set of smoothies widened. I really want to them pushed out to 8s but have read there's a fair bit involved regarding offsets, back spacing but I have also read that it's no problem and they will squeeze under, I'm just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this mod and if they would like to share. I know 7s will go straight on but I'd like to have that extra inch ...that's what she said lol...

Anyways if anyone has any info it would be great!y my dub is a 64 and has short axles also

Wish me luck as tomorrow we start to narrow the front beam!

Good luck tomorrow, I have a 5" narrow beam if you get in trouble

With short axles and a stretched tyre you should be able to get 8" under the guards with the right off set.
