| I couldn't say for sure..At one time I thought someone did, but yet haven't seen them :? You can get ahold of Andy(ace) and Brad ( Bender) here on the board and ask them about making you some. But do you mean the arms are too wide so they hit the inside of the rims when turning? Guessing that narrowing the rims wouldnt help? |

| Many thanks Made a bit of a boo boo - the (custom) arms are too wide at the end, and without offset or spacers, my rims (maximizer beadlocks) only allow 1-2 degrees of steering  Trouble is, I think I need about an inch of offset, so standard rims + 3/4" are no good either. Bit of a dumb oversight really  |

| not sure on the maxximizers, but i normally take out about 3/4" on my standard rims. then you would only need a 1/2" spacer or so. just another option. anyway to take the arms back apart and redo them? |

| The arms aren't really modifiable, not without making the top pieces again  I've dropped Andy a PM, many thanks for the suggestion Last edited by TWINSET; 07-17-2005 at 10:20 AM. |

| I just finished taking out about 15/16 out of my maximizers because the rim would make contact with my steering linkage. That might be a better option than modifing your arms or runnig spacers that will only put more unneeded stress on your rig. |

| Thanks for the link, they're out of stock at the mo, but I know where to look now. Out of interest, how did you narrow the beadlocks? |
