I was messing around with my new 2004 mustang body and my old evo chassie, and i figured out that if i put 2 bearings on 1 side (the side that is farthest from the rear wheel)then i put everything back together,it looked pretty nice.Then i turned the wheel around and it looked just like a deep dish rim...Best thing about this tut. u dont have to glue,cut,or file...
here r some pics to help some ppls out ▼ NOTE:click on the pics to see the pic larger...

1. Take off wheels

2. Take off the knuckle cover(brake pads)

3. Take off the axle stub with both bearings

4. Take the bearing that was closest to the wheel

5. then place it by the other bearing on the other side

6. Put it back into the knuckles

7. Then put the knuckles covers (brake pads) back on

8. look at the wheels and see if they are right

Same thing goes for the deep dish rims

heres some pics of the deep dish rims

I did this on accident on my first xmod, I left it at first, then found it had a tendancy to pop the wheel on hard turns. Have you had this problem yet? I'm sure an appropriate sized washer might clear it up.
