any neg offset rim scrubs on my car....

i have a kids too but when we buy 30 year old cars im guessing most of us just keep on driving till some thing needs replacing or we upgrade.
I bought a 4 year old car and put a 2nd hand hub on it... used the existing ball joint. Dont really see any or much difference.

and when we by these 2nd hand set ups, i dont think alot of people rebuild them completely. they just check them and bolt them in.

I like safety first too, but I dont consider it a compromise if its in safe useable condition.
