    I’ve read a few more threads with b16 and they’ve all said they aren’t made for scraping your oil pan on the ground. They’re made for bigger tire to fill wheel gap.

    Update: removed secondary lock ring an maxed the larger ring to the maximum possible low height and it sits far far better. I did read a few threads about doing this and they all stated the same thing that there really should be much risk of issue as the main ring can support the weight and since it’s tightened against the actual cup it can’t move any further. Probably won’t be able to ever loosen it but fuck it
