I was talking about the extra flare the 4x4 fender has compared to the 2wd fender. That's the whole point of the 4x4 fender is for the flare....

i am currently in the process of milling both titan and infinitis for my stock sheetmetaled b2200 I ran the titans on t for a day or two byt rubbed all the paint off them on my bed side...milled close to a 1/8 off brake drunm and axle end... plan on taking over 3/16 off wheels to make them fit on stock sheet metal ...heres a pic showing stock sheetmetal loved running them,....planned on powdercoating them when i am done so the titans are first then the inifinitis






at work right after mounting them up

for the record so nobody will ask... i hate the look of 4x4 sheetmetal....way to much flare and plain doesnt look right on a dumped mazda...(nor ask me about a toyota bumper....only seen one i liked by friend chris mull...billy bob , and he had to section and chop the crap out of a couple to make it look right...) the passenger side one rubbed more than driver side ...bed is a little missaligned after last re work ....never straingtened it out on the frame to match cab....but still need more clearance to be safe..

on a side note the above truck has stock inner fenders front and rear and was laying frame on 16 eskies but has been engineered to lay out up to 19's with new inners...front will be done once wheels fit for sure....not a fan of hacking out the fenders in a pinch so once they fit i will make some nice unobtrusive inners... as it sits on 18's rear lays rail with inner fenders rubbing heavily...good for show not good for dragging...more smoke then sparks..

Hey, got a quick question about wheels for my girls 89 B2600i 4x4. I'm looking at a set of Moto Metal MO960's - 17x8, 6x5.5, +0mm. However, the application guide says they will not fit. Can anybody tell me why they wouldn't fit? Here's a pic of the wheels btw.

Sorry, this may be a stupid question, but it doesn't make sense to me.

The offset is less than the factory wheels, but that doesn't matter much for a 4x4. Also, they might have too small of a hub bore, not sure if the 4x4s require a larger hub bore because of the tabs like the 2wds do.

Ok, thanx!
