So. Cal.
I've done a quick search but still have a question. What hits on the '03 and up? Is there a way around that problem without spacers?

Thanks!
 
The valve stems hit the brake calipers. There are a couple ways around it. You can flip the valve stem around so it points into the rim, and drill a new hole on the other side of the rim and put in another valve stem, or do a search on Fleabay for some flush mount valve stems. I got mine, then I wrecked a rim pretty bad, and got some different rims, but they look like they would clear.
 
i just did mine today, just flipped around a stem backwards where the original whent and then drilled a hole on the oposite side. Then after i brought them to a tire shop near me and had him break the bead for me adn put the stems in, cost me 10 bux. Worked and looks great for a very cheap price.
 
Ok, cool. Just valve stems then. Anybody got any pics of what it looks like (without spacers). How much wider is it than stock?

Last question. What size is the valve stem hole so I can order my flush mount valve stems.
 
Ah, yeah. Guess I did ask 2 questions there huh?

2" is pretty decent gain for just flipping rims. Thanks for info guys.
