Forget it...i'm a moron. I looked at all the adapters back in the day to see if there were fronts and reares, musta mixed one up and put it in the wrong box, cause I found the front ones, right after I installed the rear ones on the front!

Oh and I just basterdized the rear fenders, they will get cleaned up this week.

Thanks guys, I have been trying to get my ass in gear and get back onto this truck. I had so much other crap to do, I finally cleared some stuff out, and i'm able to do it.
No there arn't any bushings under the bed, I'm soooo pissed at myself, I don't think the fenders were widened enough. I did them 2" and they are kinda close.
I have like a half an inch on both sides, but It barely rubs on the passenger side rim, so I need to push it to 3"maybe?
I triplechecked before I put them back together and it semed cool....ehhh oh well, just fiberglass. I didn't want them to look stupid fat, so I wanted to do the most minimum widening necessary.
Work on the body mounts will start hopefully in two weeks, then we can get on with the rest of it.

Oh ya, what nuts do you guys use on the front end of these with the adapters? I have the shank nuts that came with the epic rims, but they are too long and I can't get the center cap on up front.
Do the stock nuts fit? Do stock nuts have a hole in the center so the wheel stud can pass thru?
Now that I actually have the front adapter on the front wheels, I need to sort out the cap issue...thx guys.

I got 6 of them from a buddy in the semi rig business, got them milled and re-polished.
Actually had the rims since the beginning of the year, they haven't seen the pavement till now....I gotta move my ass.
