Exclamation FD Wheel to FC Spacer RECIPE

Alright so Finally got to take some time and photograph my car with the STANCE Coilovers, Aligned, AutoRnD Spacer conversion for FD wheels, and my MONSTER 245/45/16's UP FRONT. Minor roll on the fender and camber is about 1.5 to 2.0 deg, i have to check. I can't emphasize enough how amazing it is that I was able to fit this combination with the Stance coilovers. I've never had steering response in an FC like this before. It's a whole new experienece. At most I had only run up to 235/40/17 in the front of an FC.

I wanted to photograph this cause i finally found ONE LAST PIECE to make this conversion perfect. I found a 67 to 60 ALUMINUM HUBRING. Frikin DOPENESS.

Here it is from the beginning.

SPACER HUBRING. GOING FROM A 73 TO A 67.


SPACER HUBRING INSTALLED INTO SPACER. NOTE THE PROTRUSION NOW.


ALUMINUM HUBRING. GOING FROM A 67 TO 60. CLOSE ENOUGH. HEHE.



HUBCENTRIC SPACER MOUNTED ONTO WHEEL WITH THE OTHER HUBRING.



ON CAR PICS:




NOTE TIRE SIZE:
FRONT:


REAR:


NOTE FENDER PLACEMENT:
FRONT:


REAR:


FINALE:



The Turn in is amazing.

Thanks, Rishie

I cant attest to the feel, but that is flush. Looks great. Good job.

Thanks guys.

OH ONE THING I FORGOT TO MENTION.

Because of the hub protrusion in the front the KICS Hubring wasn't sitting flush with the spacer when inserted. So we had to grind out the area of the KICS ring that tapers on the inner diameter. Basically it has a beveled edge inside of the hubring which we had to move "higher" so it would clear the FC hub protrusion. Once that was done everything was a perfect tight fit. PERFECTLY HUBCENTRIC IN EVERY ASPECT.

Thanks for the compliments,

Rishie
