Kick *** choice. Post some pic's as soon as you get them on. Are your willwood brakes bigger or smaller than stock. Just wondering what kind of backspacing you asked for. I'll need to know when I order mine...

The calipers are larger than stock, not sure about the calipers. I'm prepared to grind on the brakes for clearance if needed.
I asked for a rear backspacing of 1-3/4'' and a 6 inch rear spacing for the fronts.
I'm using these for a bigger tire/wheels combo.

UPDATE, called the distributor today and they said it's going to be another 2 weeks before I see my wheels.
Sucks...... Looks like my car won't be seeing opening day at the track.

you stole from a couple guys I know well. I will be a thorn in your threads just out of principle. scumbag.
just like a theiving loser to not only steal from those around him..but also to make threats. how about be a man and pay off all the people you ripped off....that would shut everyone up. Including me.
the fact is..that you are the one in the wrong...and everyone knows it. wake up.
