front 21 ridewright 02flhtcui

I've been looking for some clarification on what wheel to order.These are the two choices im thinking of http://www.dragspecialties.com/produ...umber=02030559 and http://www.dragspecialties.com/produ...umber=02030385
Would i be right in assuming that they are listed for 08-13 due to bearing size and that they will work on my 02 with 1" bearings,08-later centre spacer and trimmed outer spacer?
Wouldn't mind some opinions on the aluminum soft lip vs the steel standard style as well.
thanks

I think your safe in assuming that those wheels are made for the thinner 25mm ID x 15mm wide bearings, unless you find a bearing shim when you remove the LEFT bearing.

If you install your OE 2002 1" ID x 21mm wide bearings, then Yes, use the 08-later center spacer sleeve (which should be the one they used in the replacement wheel) and trim your spacers.

If you chose to use aftermarket 1"ID x 15mm wide bearings, you would still use the 08-ltr sleeve, but use the 08-ltr Dimensioned LEFT whl spacer, effectively "lengthening" slightly your OE left spacer. Re-use your Right spacer

Only comment I can give ... I think the softlip looks better

good luck

The wheels he is asking about are made by Ride Wright...

And sold through DS without using the "RideWright" name?

I really didn't look at the price before now (really didn't need to), but at $1100 and $1000, I guess that would make sense

K that all makes sense. Thanks
There's a note somewhere on their site that says they are made by Ride Wright for Drag Specialties.
I agree that the soft lip looks better,but I'm wondering how they will hold up.i guess there's too many variables to answer that.
