well i got my 911 front suspension all installed and drilled rear hubs, but the wheels im using-i guess- are leaving me w/ some problems. I got a set of adapters and spacers from a friend of mine that WOULD work but im having troubles w/ them fitting. The front adapter/spacer is an inch and a half wide but the center is made to go onto the rear axel. It is a quality part from a 911 and is heavy dooty, but if i machine the center out to fit over the front hub center, will it be too weak? Does anyone have a spacer this wide for the front?

the rear spacers are just too wide, either i need longer studs-which i cant seem to find anywhere local, or i need smaller spacers. The spacing on the rear wheel isnt bad but could come out like 1/4 to 1/2" w/o a problem but these are 3/4" and just arent working. Im thinking 1/4" would work fine since my rotors are not on right now either. I need to get some five lug rotors or drill mine soon to check fitment....

PS: am i the only one who thinks it's really odd that you guys use metric (100s) for the fractions of an inch ????
like 4.5" ? or even worse, 4.2' is NOT 4 feet 2" ...  :wacko:

Never heard anyone say 4.2'. Feet and inches are calculated in fractions. Machinist convert fractions to 1000's of an inch. Most all industy is "slowly" changing to metrics. Hell, even the cabinet industry is almost all metrics now. My shelf pegs are 5mm. My shelf hole gang drill is 32mm centers. my 1/4" plywood is now 7mm. Try fitting a 7mm drawer bottom into a 1/4" dado!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) , but 4.2 feet don't make sense! 4'2", 42", but not 4.2'.
