no, you're increasing the preload. The car won't settle when you put it back on the ground.

Adjust those two lock rings so that there is just a SLIGHT tension on the spring. Enough so that when the strut is out of the car, it isn't easy to spin the spring around by hand. Then take off that bottom lock ring, and spin the knuckle sleeve all the way up, and put it back in the car. You'll need an alignment.

At least he'll see that there's no way the 10"s will fit. Maybe he'll get lucky and it will be early enough to get his money back.

I still have some SERIOUS doubts. Like, he just bought 4 sets of wheels, and he can't wait, so he got one set to have drilled from blanks?

that **** is NOT cheap.
