Ok at Hoser,s advice im taking the front's off my buggy. I took the stock wheels to bones at omf and we came up with an idea for a wheel with the right offset. He's working on them right now and said it would take about two weeks. Im going with the red beadlocks. There looking to be about ( hold your breath ) $300 each, but it's worth it to be able to steer my car right. Ill put up pictures when there done. If anyone want's a set call OMF wheels in Riverside Ca. Ask for Bones

You're having a turning issue on the FL350 or the FL400? The stock wheel is 10x5.5. I've heard about OMF cutting the Douglas wheels to the correct size. Does going with a 10x5 or 10x6 really affect steering that much? I put 10x6's on my FL350 and I can't notice a difference. However I've only just got it running today and was riding it in our parking lot only.

Its not the width of the wheel, it is the offset. If you notice the stock FL350 wheels lugs are almost vertical with the outside of the tire. the douglas wheels are more in the middle of the rim.
