This is good news. So I will go to a negative .5 inch gap to a positive .5 inch gap. Then add the larger 3 nub shim and get maybe an inch gap.

Depending on the off-set of the new wheels, I might not rub the front tires.

Then change out to comforts and replace the mushroomed lca bushing with a greased urethane one and hopefully get lowered and keep some of the great synchronous wallow.
