thanks guys, just looking for some suggustions,,,BuffDigits said:We took a grinder (like the angle one) and shaved a dime size piece off of each bolt. I was able to fit 335's 18's with no spacers, only the shaved bolt.
Its pretty quick, only take a couple of minutes to do.

i have access to 12 verticle mills, 8 horizontal mills, 6 pedistol grinders, 2 industrial drill presses, 14 horizontal lathes, 2 Haas CNC mills, & 2 Haas CNC lathes (plus some other misc. tools)
having 24/7 access to my machine shop is nifty but dealing with some of my students could be a pain in the ass some times.
if any of you are in the la area i would be happy to do them for you.

1268Melberger said:Yeah....I have the Eibach pro-kit and it is well within the wheel. On a lift when the suspension drops it hits it. Don't really care about that thou ...don't plan on bottoming out the suspension. :rollseyes
Cobra330 said:Um...I am not..but, the post man delivers to your area..right? What if I bought them and sent them to you...and provide the money to send them back?
WDW MKR said:You won't be rolling your eyes if one of your wheels dips into a large pothole, or you're driving in an excited manner and happen to come upon a crest in the road. I've accidentally unloaded my suspension on a couple of occassions. It may sound like an impossibility, but you'll really wish you took the extra step when that bolt decides to catch the inner sidewall of your tire. Our rear wheels articulate much more than a standard axle. Crossing certain inclines at enough of an approach angle could be enough to partially unload a rear tire. Why take the risk?! :shrug:
2004Serpent said:for sure man I up for it.
2003Slobra said:Damnit! I never even thought of that situation. I am glad you brought that to my attention! Would it be easier to buy new bolts and grind down the head, or jack the car up and grind them down with a dremel?
If you are willing to make a day of this you could count me in :burnout:
