Yep....tried it tonight. Got all of the bolts out of one wheel with no issues. Removed the face and cleaned it all up. Was able to separate the barrels but not break the tire bead. I didnt try very hard, so ill be taking them in for dismount.

About 6 of the bolts had thread locker, I'll repeat that when I reinstall.

Feeling good about this so far.

As for fitment, thanks for the explanation Ben. In my case I'm just literally adding 1/2" to the inside which will take me extremely close to the strut with the tire, but that's going to pull in on the wide wheel. If for some reason it's too close, there are always small spacers.

I'm hoping to complete this during this week. I'll post back with results.
