Hmmm...have you checked the timing? Like actually used a timing light? It's pretty simple and will quickly show you what's up. I know you said the dizzy is aligned, but you'll want to check timing to be sure. It's like ~$35 for a gun and is something that is always nice to have on hand.

Keep posting results.

Not sure about the stagger of the lips, how would I calculate that?

Do you think I could go to 18x12?

I like more tire, not really into the stretched look so much.

Thanks for the input!
Try to follow along as this may be confusing when typed out. 1"=25.4mm (round to 25mm). Your wheels are 10j-19 and 11j-7.

For lip size comparison (ignoring offsets right now), you only care about half (outside half) of the wheel width, so we'll consider your wheels 5j-19 and 5.5j-7. The initial lip size difference is .5" wider in the rear.

Now, let's factor in the offset and convert inches to millimeters. The front will have a lip of 5" x 25.4mm = 127mm + 19mm = 146mm or 5.75". The rear will have a lip of 5.5" x 25.4mm = 139.7mm + 7mm = 146.7mm or 5.78". (Remember since we are calculating width of the lip we add a negative offset to the width since it will add to the overall lip)

So, it looks like they will have about the exact same lip sizes. This just calculates the width from the outside edge to the mounting surface of the hub. Different disk types will affect the why these look overall but these measurements will still hold true.

Any advice?
BG makes a pretty good cleaner kit. They have a cleaner and a additive for after. I think you can buy just the cleaner.
