I read through the forum and most either cut the flange, cut a notch in the bump stop or bend the bracket. I tried cutting the flange with a dremel cut off wheel and wasn't successful.


Next I tried notching the bump stop. FAIL!


Then I found the perfect tool to bend the bracket! Took less than a minute with the pipe wrench abd the bracket bent with little to no effort!




Wish I tried option 3 first which would of saved me a hour of cutting. Hope this helps someone in the future.

Hopefully you won't try and fit some 11.0" wide wheel in the future, or even 10.5's with a large backspace/offset. That protruding bracket mount edge will catch the inner diameter of the rim when the axle drops as the car is jacked.

Many of us running 17x11.0 50mm offset wheels for example, simply cut the projecting edge of the bracket mount off. I don't remember it being particularly difficult, but you need something beefier than a Dremel.

I should be okay with 17" ss rims with 245x40x17 tires?
