A custom 19 inch wheel regardless of brand is going to have the same distance to the inside barrel of the wheel as a GM OE wheel does so whether or not you are running a aftermarket 19" wheel is irrelevant.
SPL has not been making parts for our cars nearly as long as they have other manufacturers so that's always going to be a learning process.
To make the EXISTING Bumpsteer kit instantly compatible with 18 inch wheels , all they would have to do is make the threaded end of the bolt SHORTER and then supply a thinner nylock nut like what we used.
SPL PARTS are aircraft quality parts and they are simply the BEST suspension parts you can buy PERIOD.

Never said they weren’t good parts, all I’m saying it’s up to the end user to know what does or doesn’t fit his or her application. If SPL is running factory wheels I’m sure they’ll fit without issues but anything other than that it’s on you.
