Good deal for the parts, but you know that the rear is 4" wider than a standard 3rd gen axle? I did that swap too thinking my crosslaces would fit but they still stuck out past the upper fender lip.

That's why I bought a set of 4th gen rims to accent my 4th gen rear. Smile

o i no its wider thats not a huge problem, just order some telestars with the right backspacing, and do some grinding on the calibers to clear the 15in rims and its good to go till i blow it up lol.
