Change can be a good "Thing".

I've been reading up on raising "Things". The rear is no problem; the front seems have a few different ways to do it.
And the best seems to be "raised spindles" I haven’t found a place to get them yet. But then..... I'll need 15" rims and tires to fit.
So I'm going to the Classic on a research mission.

Does anyone have some wide 5 15" rims?
or where to find "raised spindles?

This guy looks like he could build you whatever you want.

The wide 5 rims should not be hard to find at all, do you want the slotted or smooth.

Smooth....but I've been told bus wheels won't work, wrong offset.
