Damn. Spacers required. New wheels fail to clear brakes. >=(

Brakes are overrated!
 
how much of a spacer?

Do the wheels require hubcentric rings - meaning is the centerbore bigger than 57.1? If so I'd highly suggest contacting DPE as they can make spacers that integrate into the wheel.

yeahhhhhh,made it to WV an Back on the wisp of a brake....LOL

Just a few mm. Will probably acquire 5mm spacers. Hubcentric wheels.

Hey Chris, sent you an email, not certain I have your current address tho.

AxeYrCat 10-29-2008 09:53 AM

On the inside or the outside? I can definitely get some spacers in there. =)

Just have a machine shop shave em so they are real close to the wheels...Thats what I did
 
works great and keeps em tuck under the fenders...

Glad to see you kept the car Chris =)
