Sh@tty night. Double fail with new wheels

Well the awesome boys at UPS hooked me up . Bogarts showed up tonight with a nice f'in flat spot and a nice kiss mark on the box. Didn't notice till I was "about" to get tires installed. Awesome

Swing and a miss #2 was I got the other rim/slick mounted. I been crunching number all week and pretty much knew my answer. It wasn't going to fit. I went off having a 13.1 mid section giving me .75 clearance. Well, didn't seem to catch the fact that was a 10 rim and I have 11's. So add another .5" to that making 13.6, but give or take a hair, and bingo, pretty much touches the leafs.

Not a fan on running a spacer, so I figure I'll just mount my 29x11.5 on there. New math on those is back to .75 clearance again.

Shitty. I'll be on the phone tomorrow with Bogart about the wheels. My gut says i'll be sending them right back to them after already waiting 5+week.

Really wanted this shit for the STS this weekend in GA. Not looking good for the home team.
