I love you guys... :mrgreen: I'm really laughing at the Brady stuff!!! Oh Crap! Help me!!
Unfortunately for me, my brain hangs onto TV show music and theme songs, and I can literally hear the EXACT tune that would be playing after such a Mike Brady lecture... ugh.
Make that "I hate you guys..." :D

Thank you Greg. my exact word was "imagination" I feel creativity is a bit harsh as I feel we are all creative in our own way where-as if there are many wheels out there that would fit on our cars and I still saw that only "4 types" were still being used I would say that is a lack of "imagining" what your car could look like with other options.
Curious what these 4 types of wheels are?

Lay a straight edge across the face of the drum. Measure to the spring and the outer wheel well.
Average (safe) Datsun Roadster backspace, (to the spring) is 4.75” (4.9” will touch).
