[FC] Not one, not two, but THREE rim sizes for FCs!!!!

[Bryan Blackwell]

Hi Mike,

We have chrome 14 x 6" Chevy wheels on ours, 3 1/2" backspace.  They 
are very close to the tie rods, but they fit.  That puts all of the 
extra width on the outside, but with relatively tall sidewalls I 
haven't noticed any issues.
