How to revised my sliding door

Postby Psychobillo [OP] » May 11th 2013, 6:10pm

Hello guys, this is my first topic and im not really sure that im at the right place but if you could help to my question. It's because i've changed my mags, those are 15" by 10. Yup this is wide enought :) but now my sliding door cant open anymore so how can i fit this. If someone already did that thanks or suggestion thanks again. :think:

I forget who attempted this but someone else on here had the same issue and we were kicking around ideas on how to rectify it.

I can't recall if that guy ever solved the problem or if he went back to regular sized wheels.

But one thing that I can think to do right off the bat is to notch out the inside panel of the door, flip over the piece of scrap and then weld it back in place and trim off the excess.
