I'm thinking of converting the Zambezi Green car over to 5 lug Fuchs (no flares) and am trying to understand if 5 lug suspension pieces are really necessary versus just drilling the current hubs?
This will not be a track or autocross car...simply a driver. I actually do have the parts to convert (struts and stuff from a 1970 911); however, I was just wondering if there is any reason to actually make the conversion for a street driver. Other than the benefit of getting the bigger 911 brakes on the front, is there a strength, reliability, adjustability, etc. issue? Thoughts? |

With all the cars and money you have spent, what's a measly $1200 for a set of 15 X 6 fully restored (Al Reed) Fuchs stopping you from purchasing?
BTW ... 15 X 7 Cookies with 185/65 tires fit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
