Hi everyone, new here so I'll keep it short.

I recently bought a set of wheel spacers/adapters so I could run 4x114.3 FC wheels on my FB. I put them on and haven't noticed any issues, but I have a few questions. For one, I ran into some trouble on the back. I have the S model with drum brakes and the screws holding the drums(??) on were in the way of the spacer sitting flush. I noticed the lug bolts screw into the same place though so I went ahead and removed the screws. Is this safe to do? Even though I haven't noticed any issues it still weighs on me while driving.

Also, I'd like to autocross the car in the spring. Is there anything I can do to make it safer on the spacers? Is it safe to run at all? Sorry if this has been covered before. I'd appreciate any suggestions or help. Thanks.

 

You shouldn't have to worry about the drum brake screws, the lug bolts will hold it on anyway.
