buZy Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 23.813mm = .9575 = 15/16 24mm = .9449 Make a flat board U shape template showing your offset and diameter. Hold that jig around the radius center of the axel against the drum datum, checking for clearance of rotation at ride height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2126 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Ricardo, Hi, It's Tom. I think you are certainly in the ball park with a 24mm spacers. The only why to really know if the tire/wheel are positioned the way you want, is to install them and check for clearance....then adjust the spacer width as required. This is the way I did it anyway. Talk at you soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
