so after dropping in the d44.... i was rather annoyed to find out the stock xj wheels (tried both 5 spokes, and 11 spokes) will NOT clear the crown vic brake calipers....
which is pretty lame, as ive read 98% of the crown vic threads here on naxja, and havent heard a peep about them not fitting....
i even mocked up a set of tires on the axle to wheel it from my garage to the street for the install...... it didnt seize up untill the lugs where tightened down all the way snug....
luckily a buddys mj had some american racing wheels on it... which clear fine due to the increase in backspacing...
please dont flame me for starting a complaint thread... just wanted to share some info.... i will be contacting whoever i can, to put this information out there....
