thanks for the reply, but i have just one more question! Is there any way to decrease the track width on a 1600 with 240K struts? (i know it sounds stupid) I have some rims with the wrong offset that stick out too far on the front. I would like to be able to tuck them under as they are nice rims! Thanks.
