Which reminds me, I wouldn't think cutting on the rear pod would be the correct thing to do. Yes it will work but your rear track is now going to be narrower. Both tires are the same width just different offsets. so shimming the axle would make the most sense. I guess what i was wondering was; does anyone make a thick spacer that makes up the difference in offset between the two tires.
I am afraid not-though if you buy from Oval on-line shops-they have much thicker shims. I have even used an unflanged bearing as a spacer when I needed to take up a lot of room on the axle.
