4+1 Wheel Offset Issue

[dougyunker]

Hey guys,
I just put new GT Thunder +2 arms on my 400 and since I run harescrambles, also bought a set of DWT 4+1 Beadlocks. Unfortunately, I did not look at clearance issues beforehand. The 4+1 wheels do not clear the ball ends on the tie rods. I would assume I need different hubs, but I'm not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Do you have the balljoints for the tierods on top of the spindle or the bottom?

I recently just had the same issue, I think CJM pointed it out to me about the tie rods, then I changed it and the rims fit nicely!

I have +1 laegers and at first my tie rods didn't fit cuz of Clearence then I switch them around I still don't have the Clearence I would like it's prolly under a 1/2 inch

They're going to be close. But as long as they don't touch, you're good to go.

They are on the top...should they be on the bottom? If so, I'll be one happy dude! haha

Yea, I think I was the one who pointed that out to John. Or I did to somebody. The ball joint should go in from the bottom, the nut and cotter pin are on top of the spindle. Like this:
