Thanks! Think the rears can go to 25 but I prefer a direct bolt to the hub compared to the double bolt setup when sizing up from 20 to 25.

For the tips that I got, there are rivets on the carbon fiber bodies that end up touching the adjacent tip when installed. It still however wasn't difficult to mount. Without rivets there should be around 3 mm clearance between adjacent 4" tips. After getting them installed, I couldn't be happier with the look... the tips are now better proportioned with the huge back end!
any chance you got the link for those tips you ordered?

Nice! Was it you who asked the question initially?

I bolted on the tips, so the reach is fully adjustable. Ensure that when your welder cuts off the existing tips (they can't be pulled off), they install an extension or coupling that allows you to bolt on the tips at whatever length you desire. Readjust using the bolts to find the best configuration.
