My other A.A.D.S. thread got kinda sidetracked on the whole rear rack issue, and the correspondence emails between the Mfg. (Quadboss), and myself.
So I'll do this one, to show the latest symptoms of the Disease :huh
Here is a nose shot w/stock front rims 'Flipped'.
(yeah, I know it will increase the bump-steer, but I'll try it out and see how bad it really is)

here is a shot of how much the caliper is exposed with the stock rims 'Flipped'.
look closely, you can see where the edge of the stock rim USED to be... It was flush with the 'little round black thingy" on the caliper.
(btw- "little round black thingy" is a very highly technical term, that I dont want to take the time to define here.
If you would like me to define it more clearly, just PM me, and I will be happy to do so).
You can also see a small black mark on the casting of the caliper. This is where the edge my polished Douglass rims were.
and then you can compare those 2 spots, to where the now 'Flipped' stock rims edge is.<a href="http://s111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/tri5ron/03%20400ex/?action=view¤t=IMG_8250.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/tri5ron/03%20400ex/IMG_8250.jpg" border="0" alt="Exposed caliper w/ 'flipped' stock rims"></a>
UH - OH! What's that sound I hear?
Could it be the sound of the UPS/FEDEX truck???
Well YES it is, it sounds just like Santa's sleigh...
here's a couple shots of the Polished Stainless Airscoops
