I finnally got around to trying out my 1.75 inch spacers that I've had, now that I have the flares on, they work perfect! Now I can put all my 15"wheels on the rear and not look funky because of the flares, exactly what I needed for drifting.
Let's just hope I don't break anything!!!!

 

do you have any pics from further away?

 

Where did you get the spacers from? I do hope you Red Loctite the studs for final install.

 

Got the spacers from a forum member last year. $65 for the pair.....I know, I suck!
Didn't put locktite on, just 75lbs torque.

 

A wheel bearing's nightmare But will make the car look extra mean.

 

those retain the 4x110 right? i wanted to get some that convert to 4x114.3 but i just got a gsl-se so that problem is solved.

 

Yes this is a 4x110 spacer no pattern change.
I am going to make some FC TTII hubs that do both 4x110 and 4x114 for the front so I can have my bigbrake conversion and keep my cool wheels and buy other old school wheels in 4x114. The rear is easy to have redrilled for 4x114 as well.

 

"Let's just hope I don't break anything!!!!"

Wheel bearing life will be shorter.

I notice there is no location boss for the new wheels on the new spacers ??.

Your asking the wheel to be located and held on by only the screw in studs which will only flex.

The wheel spacers should look like this (see pic).

Cheers the old boy.

WOW. THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL WIDEBODY. PLEASE POST MORE PICS AND SPECS.

 

VERY 80's looking.

Not that I dislike it or anything,its definately unique compared to what we have availible here in the States.
The "slab" of a frontend is not very FB'ish.....

 

Very reminiscent of the '80s 924 Porshe.

I like!
