Wheel spacers.

Hey, I’m looking at Colin project star sharks for an 83 GSL, but the lug pattern on the car is 4x110 and the wheels are 4x114.3. Any recommendation on how to change? If there’s a kit or good spacers, I’m putting fender-flares so tire poke is okay from the stock body.

Your can either.

1. Have a machine shop redrill the rear to 4x114.3 and use spacers in the front.
2. Make a Big Brake Kit for the small spindle/axle RX-7 and switch to second gen RX7 or oger such sized brakes.

I think he means 4x114,3 Colin's. They dont make the Star Shark in a 3 Lug pattern (beautiful wheels BTW).



The only 3-lug wheels I can think of are on classic French cars. Renault, Citroen, Peugeot, etc.

Yep. That exactly what I meant, I updated the post. Thank you btw, I’m looking at the gold and silver ones, and I think I’m going to paint/wrap the car red and black like how they did it on the r30 gtr’s
