I'm currently in the process of figuring out my suspension (well, I've been doing that for awhile now... lol). Have two questions about shortened steering knuckles which have been bothering me lately. How do they play with bags, as far as overall suspension clearance goes? I'll be running sleeve-style bags for additional clearance, but it's still a concern of mine.

Another thing - while I do have wild negative offset wheels, would I still be able to run something like an 18x8 with an offset in the high 20s/low 30s? Or am I pretty much limited to super low offset wheels? I've read that you can't use wheels under 18" diameter because of knuckle clearance, but I'm wondering if that extends into the wheel offset itself, or it's just a diameter problem.

18x10 -9 has like less than a inch clearance with my shortened spindle. Just run spacers Preston. They'll fit.

Hai ya'll...
