yea lucky me huh? i guess i was lucky with my other sets of wheels i bought and never told the seller the truck was bagged. also i got real lucky when on the other two of my friends truck we bagged had wheels on it on a stock vehicle, but those luckliy fit too. i'm just a lucky guy, better go play the lottery real quick.

this is what happens when you get CUSTOM parts dingus...you cant expect everything to be exactly the same from different manufacturers.... and it is not the responsibility of the seller to know if the item will fit your truck with altered items...parts are made to fit stock vehicles...not your truck with DJM vs. Belltech spindles on stock control arms vs. aftermarket ones...

so here it is my OPINION that wheel shops should know they're product and know if they fit within specs to tcuk or if they will frog out.

if your opinion states other wise then you're free to have it, and you most likely work for wheel companies or do them a great favor by doing all the work yourself and then still paying full cost for the wheels. people are forgetting this is a a buyers market, not sellers...

and to avoid any further confusion to anyone just reading this and not the full post:

*it has been found the problem is NOT with the wheel, nor my measuring skill. but in fact that the Belltech spindle is 1/2" out further then stock.*

i want to thank built 2 drag and cody bennent for their knowledge of belltech spindles size compared to stock. this has helped greatly. also i want to appologizing for thinking the wheel was wrong, it was an honest mistake when the seller modifies the wheel to fit your app, makes you think thats the problem 1st. also i have learned that if i want to put racing wheels on my truck i'll talk to matt.

Sorry but I disagree with the above statement. Shops might know some offsets that will tuck on cars/trucks but I don't think its their duty to figure out what offset YOU should buy. Figure it out yourself and you won't have these headaches. Could have messaged any other person on the site with the same vehicle bagged on wheels and asked them the offset. Your fault, not the sellers.

1.) most wheel shops dont know their ass from their elbow about offsets

2.) for anything other then stock bold on shit YOU are responsible for doing the homework to find out what will fit and what will not. I mean how often do you think a bagged burban rolls into a wheel shop to get fitted. Not very often.

3.) you had numerous sources to find the offset of the wheels from such as www.fulsizechevy.com or even here

4.)not one wheel company will guarntee their wheel will tuck on a vehicle. i promise you this because vechicles vary from year to year and model to model. plus even if they say their wheels would tuck they cant say shit for the tires you run because that is a big part of tucking too.



basically what it comes down to is that you didnt measure for the back spacing you needed, and are trying it to blame it on everyone but yourself but remember when you point your finger at someone you have 4 more pointing back at yourself.

dam that sux, the seller shouldve known about the whole offset thing, and even though he doesnt have to say anything, a good person would've said something about it and talked you into another set.
