Just narrow the Pede rims. Look at my buildup in tires/wheels section Its specifically for those rims. They will narrow plus give you like 1/4 wideners.

lookin good. about the wideners cause your shocks, no need just mound the shocks on the way far outside on the inner of the mount.

with my masher 2k's, they barley hit the shocks enough to care, and this is an easy fix to get goin before you purchase those wideners
