They do, same as the trucks. Cut the tubes and swap them side for side and the axles, wallah. I’ve done several of them

Nice. Similar in cost to a regular car tire?

These were $75 each shipped, so considerably cheaper than a typical front runner. Guys have been doing it for a long time, and you know the construction of them has to be good if it’s for a bike.

They are not a light weight wheel, probably around the same weight as factory wheels. That would be my only complaint

Ordered all the parts to build my own tq arm, fully adjustable of course. Also ordered exhaust pipe kit, pipe expansion tools, intercooler pipe kit, pair of 3” stainless flex joints to go in the downpipes, adjustable panhard and Lcas, and a fresh set of br7ef plugs

Haven’t been able to touch the car all week, but made some really good progress tonight. Hotsides all tacked together, very pleased with everything. It appears everything is going to be nice asnd easy. Intercooler piping is a cinche, downpipes piece of cake, wastegates and dumps super easy, the only pain in the *** is the spark plug changing in the future.

Should mount the intercooler where it is and rely on fog lights and listened plate hole cutout to cool the intercooler, or should I move it back say 12” and use an air damn to help more? Keeping it away from the radiator will be a big plus, should all but eliminate any heat soak problems?

Also, picking up a viair 90c compressor and 70-100 switch, and a gallon tank. Might as well run it for no more than they cost to do, make sure them gates stay shut haha

Don’t guys drill out other types of wheels? I don’t see why you couldn’t?
