The front hubs can safely be turned down to fit the
wheels. Also while you are at it, press in some 7/16
studs. In the rear you need to add a 1/4 inch
spacer.With the added stress that you are going to add
to the suspension, I suggest that you magnaflux the
spindels. Now the only thing you have to worry about
is snapping a rear axle as play with your toy. Have
fun..................Bob
