    Well, here it is four months later... the springs finally arrived, but aren't installed, yet. But I also pulled the trigger on some new wheels and tires. I think they're gonna be awesome.

    Except they don't fit.

    Those bolts that hold on the hub cap are just a tiny bit too tall and the front wheels won't fit. I'm thinking that I can remove those allen-style bolts and swap them out for regular hex-cap bolts that will be a bit lower profile. Anyone have any reasons why I shouldn't? The cap appears to only cover the snap ring, so I don't understand why it needs six bolts holding it on in the first place [Edit: Uh. No, the bolts go THROUGH the hub flange, so they're kinda important...]. It suggests to me that I'm missing something...
