FD wheels on my 91 vert
This may be redundant but help anyway, please.
What do I need to make FD wheels fit my 91 vert, both are 5 lug is everything else the same or will I need anything else.
Many thanks

You need at least 5/8" spacers in the front and depending what type of spacers you may need longer studs. I used ARP camaro/vette racing studs on mine. They were 1/10th the price of the ones for Mazda racing. Can't remember who made the Mazda ones
I'd run spacers in the rear too. Just personally. I don't think it looks right with a larger wheel trac up front than rear.
To do it legit, run em all around with longer studs all around. Hope you don't have ABS. lol.

These MIGHT be them but i'm not sure. It's been a while since i got them. I know i only had to use them for the fronts.

Another thing i noticed is my front tires are wearing badly on the inside but i haven't looked into it yet since i'm on vacation. I suppose i need the camber changed or whatever. If anyone else has had this problem leave the info here.

I don't understand all the weird advice...
You'll need around a 1" spacer - I dunno how people are clearing with just 5/8" unless you're running tires narrower than 225 widths?
ARP makes Buick metric studs that are the same thread pitch - 12mm x 1.5 - they fit on the stock hubs.  No need for these spacers, if you run "offset" 25mm spacers.
