    Beware if running 5mm spacers. Whatever of the hub lip is left after you removed 5mm might not be enough to keep the wheel centered if it has a large bevel around its center bore. Say goodbye to hubcentricity. ;-) Some wheels have a smallish bevel. Some have a larger one...

      Oh wow... I'd be scared of the impact to the structural strength of those brackets. Last thing I would want is for my front brakes to go out on me.

      Car looks great though!

          Looks Perfect. Just got mine today and looking for different options of tire sizes. Do you mind telling me what tires are on your setup?

              I've got 235 S-drives in the garage waiting to go on my concaves. Hopefully tomorrow!

                I ordered the original wheels. Can I fit 235 on them? I am running drop hats and h&r lowering springs.

                        What size tires are they? They look kinda stretched on those rims...

                            Yeah. If rims are 8.5", then 225 is a bit undersized.
                            225 is perfect for an 8" though.

                            But anyway, they still look good. ;-)
