I've only had these rims for about a year I think....I bought them with hopes of putting them on my car for last years WCC....no dice, no running car...

the reason for the spacer is to move the wheels further out on the front since the 914 has about a 2" narrower track in the front than the rear....

when time permits, I'll machine a few pockets into the spacers to remove some weight off of them..

I've got those exact rims and it's going to be a while before I get to try them on the car. A few questions:

Are those 1" spacers?
Do the fronts still fit under the fenders (unaltered) with the spacers?
Are your tires 205/45's or 50's?

car had an "encounter" with Bambi's mother (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

I cannot complain too much....$300 for an otherwise solid chassis.....rims and tires cost 4X the price of the car (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

Are your tires 205/45's or 50's?

spacers are 1.125" thick, I figured I could always remove material if too thick....

tires are 205/40/17s....hope the ride is not going to be too harsh....

front fenders are stock, looks like I'll be able to lower the car with no issues.....

my rims have a 47mm offset.....yours should have a 35mm offset

a few other people with the revolutions are running 1/2" or so spacers on the front, you don't have to, its just how you like the look...

I need one for the inspection.....

Yes, I have returned from hianus

1. A gap or interruption in space, time, or continuity where one does nothing but sit on their ass.

2. Anatomy. The only explanation for someone getting feces ON the toilet seat.

40's huh? Should handle like it's on rails, just don't hit any potholes. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

I'd be interested to see how everything fits and looks once you get your car back on the ground. Hopefully you will post something when this happens.
