Hows the clearance in front of the tire. Mine was close like yours looking at it from the rear but it was too close looking at it from the front. I should have used 4 -1/4" back space wheels in stead of 4 -1/2". Had to use 1/4" spacers.

Start a "Want to Buy" thread on the torque strap. Also watch Ebay.
