I have the original Spohn design but I am guessing you are having clearance issues at the same point. Can you tell exactly where you are rubbing? Mine were where the bottom of the coil over mounts at the V point of the Spohn arm and we just cut the V and welded in a new heavier piece so that it is flatter and powder coated them and no issues now.

I don't know how many times I have to tell you, the spohn arms have LESS CLEARANCE THEN STOCK ARMS. Period.

One more time

Yeah, I think that's where I'm headed. After I get this oil leak fixed, I'll be measuring and seeing if I can notch the arms instead of just grinding away material. I hope to at least have the car running by Saturday for Super Chevy and then I can concentrate on getting these wheels to fit properly.

Well just FYI. I received my bogarts from Perry, I did a test fit and all seems great. I'm going tomorrow to get them mounted and balanced... I'll have pics up by Friday at the latest...

Oh, Perry... I received my center caps today... Look great buddy. Can't wait to see them on my car.

Thanks again!

The Bogarts aren't that bad! But they are well worth whatever they cost.

I'll agree. Just as long as I don't have to get into cutting, Grinding and Notching parts of my suspension... Then it's worth every penny!!

I won't know the truth until I get them on the car. Damn!! Wish I was off work tomorrow... I waited a while for these wheels... Lol
