The Big Chris Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 I am looking to bag my tahoe...not looking for lay frame right now...I just want to be able to bag the truck. I am not sure if this is a problem or not, but my front and rear tires stick out a little bit outside the wheel well. I am not sure if they will camber in or not...Here is a picture: I am going to my installer tomorrow for him to look at it but I just wanted to know what you guys thought. Thanks, Chris PS: 35" tires
Aaron813 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 Im sure its been done before but you might run into a real problem with the back wheels since you cant camber them in since they are connected to a straight axle
Guest Powered By Hate Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 Well.. theres no such thing as magic but ive seen MAD CRAZIER thing than that pulled off. a little negative camber is nothing that wouldnt fix... mmmMMMM!!! But then again.. if the offset isnt right there no way it'll lay down on them. I'm not a mechanic. Either that or chop saw time.. http://a666.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/image...82c7a96f299.jpg negative camber gives me a boner.

Ya I don't think the front will be that big of a problem...but on the back if its to much of an offset on these wheels, I would probally have to buy new ones. Could I shorten the axle in the back? Or would that be a lot of money? Or not even possible?

Its possible to shorten it but I just went and looked at my moms tahoe she has the same kind as you it would be alot more time and money imo to shorten the axle I would just try to find someone to trade your rims to

Aaron813 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 man I really don't want to do that...cause then I have to re powder coat them all...and then loose money selling and buying new wheelsYou might be able to roll the fenders a little bit To shorten the axle isn't necessarily hard but it is time consuming and you will need someone that knows there stuff when it comes to welding and fabrication it would have to be welded very precisely basically back to factory specs except shorter. It might actually be safer and cheaper to actually sell your wheels

It might actually be safer and cheaper to actually sell your wheels ya I see what you are saying...is it possible to bag it with the rims I have on now...and then later on get rims with a different offset. Because there is still a decent amount of space that the truck can go down...then later on when I get different rims, it will go down more.
