    I have the MII front end on mine it has 1" spacers on the front. As far as the color, I will keep that to myself for awhile, lets just say you should be able to see it quite a distance away.

    Mavs look like they were made to run with these rims on them stock, are there any issues with running spacers so thick? Do you have to run longer thinwall nuts to go deeper in or do you lose that much thread causing you to grab that much less stud?
