where to get wheel spacers...or adapters
just got some 17's for my 82 gsl...now i need either some spacers because they rub the springs or either some adapters for 4x114.3 bolt pattern...the wheels are 4x 114.3 and i have 4x110 which if i can only find spacers for a decent price i will wallow the holes out a tiny bit

i personally would be wary of "wallowing" out the holes... u'd have to be darn near exact on how much u wallowed out each one, or u'll have wobbly wheels and ruined rims...

your best bet would be wheel adaptors, they'll give you the right offset for your wheels and convert your bolt pattern. problem is they're around $250.

I have two 1 1/4 inch adapters that convert the 12a bolt pattern 4x110 to the 13b bolt pattern 4x114.3, I also have (18) - 2 1/4 inch long studs which are made to thread into the 1st gen 12a's - the measurements for them are 12mmx1.25. PM if anyone is interested cause the next time you here about them will be on e-bay. These are left overs from my old setup which cost me quite a bit of money, I upgraded the brakes on my 12a and now have the 13b rotors which require the press in studs therefore I have no need for these items anymore.
