Because it's so narrow? It's a thought i might look into.

no chance of fitting a 12" with those risers on the axle plates.....and modifying them would defeat the purpose of a fairly straight swap that looks factory...

mitsubishi lancers a few years back had the same stud pattern as us, so maybe there space saver might be worth a look....

just did the 3-leaf conversion to the MB.....I had forgotten that I had the 2inch lowering blocks in there :roll:

so those swift axle plates with risers may indeed fit under 12inch rims (without the lowering blocks)

Interesting, i will have to look into this, but i'll probably be running lower blocks on mine soonish anyway.
