That's the front bumper that will replace the tweaked one.

oh, ok. I used a narrowed front bumper on my 57. that way it is matchy matchy.
disregard the storage area in the box. I actually had (made) time to clean up the shop and put some stuff away today. whoopee!

no rubbing when turning or bump turning. the only time they are even close is at full lock.

I am usually in the measure once, cut till it fits group, but when the wheel manufacturer says "if your wheels dont fit, they are still your wheels" I tend to spend a little extra time with a tape measure.

I think I could have gone another 1/2 inch less backspace.
