Just did them in anticipation or new wheels soon. Actually I'm on some loaners for now, I'll post pictures up later but the new set up will be similar. Didn't take any pictures but its done. Did a good job I might say.

I am excited to see what you picked and to see how well it fits. Congrats man. New wheels are always exciting. I just hate picking them. I always seem to stress the choice I make for weeks before I finally pull the trigger

My actual set that is being ordered/made will be by MC3 wheels, that will be a shocker from the left field.

I actually cut off that tab near the front fender, it was getting in the way of my rolling since it's toward the front that rubs. Now what to do with that bracket that holds the headlight in place... any ideas Henry??

regarding the brackets, i suppose you mean the lining is completely worn off exposing the bracket? how often do you rub? i am not sure if i have a good solution for that case, if anything i think a relatively big metal plate around the area to basically smooth out the rubbing might be the only way to go?

lol dude, stop riding so low i am curious, in your case, without those tabs, how do you hold the lining in place? wouldn't it kind of left hanging a bit?

Riding low? All the wheels I've been on have had weak offsets. Maybe it's my tire selection and the width of the rim. No stretch, which in turn could be a reason. Also, keep in mind that I've been on DF210s all this time till recently. Now I'm around a 3" or so drop.
Might have to cut the bracket and relocate the bolt holding the bumper. I don't know how those guys with agressive offsets and chucky tires do it. Oh yeah, can't for get riding low.
