The Fuchs were deeper by 1.5 inches on the back side but had the same tire width. I corrected the offset by having the adapter made 1.5 inches thick. I've also repacked the bearings and ordered bearing buddies.

The only difference is the tire height. Which will actually help the bearings since there is now less rotation at the same highway speeds.

I need to pick up a cheap collapsible spare from a 911.
