Guys, My question is this, how wide a gap should there be on the ends of the split ring on a regular 6.5" with the big ring, after it if put on the rim? I have some rims with almost no gap when the tire is installed, and some with a good 1/4"-5/16". I know that this question will get some here going about safety etc, and I've heard all of that. I also know that any crud in the rim groove would change this but all my rims have been blasted and cleaned up, I just don't like the space, seems wrong, did they make some bigger or smaller rings? I'm sure some of you guys have thoughts on this.
