OK so I think I should have got the 1 inch spacers. But I got the 1.5 inch. It just barely rubs so I just yanked on the fenders til it fit.
What does make me nervous though is there is no hub centric ring on the hub. Hopefully as long as I keep an eye on these it should be alright. Also does moving the wheel out put a dangerous amount of stress on the trailing arm? OH but man it does look cool! |

Tighten them down till the nut is starting to snug, on all of them. and then tighten one half way, go across.. half way... ect ect...
The rear brake rotor doesnt have a ring IIRC... so theres not much you CAN do about that... It should pull itself in correctly. Stress on trailing arms? dont worry about it. Stress on bearings? Yes. Replace them 2x faster than normal.... and most cars are just getting their first replacement.... so... in about 15years would be acceptable I think. (if the bearings are fresh... If not.. I'd replace them for insurance... 100 bucks in insurance..) Andrew ya.... I got the same problem.. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-172-1150867593.jpg) |

Figure that will hold better then race lugs could be wrong though. Also putting this in tomorrow if I get a chance. Attached image(s)

Everything fit fine. I should have 17 inch twist next week. I don't imagine they would come by this friday. Yours are 18? Somehow I imagine I am gonna have to get 4 more spacers to make them fit. |

I thought that setting the rims out further will cause that end to slide .
So putting spacers on the rear will cause Oversteer However I have been wrong ALOT lately. |

Didn't push it real hard this morning but it felt like the rear did roll more. But hey I always got the front sway bar to play with.
