    Would be interested to know what specs the wheels are and what size spacers you are using. Look absolutely spot on :)

      Glad you guys like the car. I wish I could get it running the way I want. Lots of people are curious about the wheel, tire set up so here it is. Fully Magnesium Tarmac WRC rally wheel, O.Z. Monte Carlos. 17x8.5 32mm offset, 15mm adaptor, extra 3mm spacer in the front. So that puts the fronts at 14mm and the rears at 17mm. Yokohama 235/40 a032r advans. Hope that helps.

          Awesome specs for those wheels mate :) nice find. Have been on the hunt for something similar for a while now. Only seem to pop up in the 15" variant or in a 4x114 stud pattern.

            Did you use a dimple die for your holes, or come up with some creative way of doing them? I'd like to buy a set, but they're pricey for good ones and not at the top of my list.

              What is the bolt pattern for these? Is it 4x108, 4x114, or is there actually a 4x100 option?

              If not 4x100, how did you adapt them? Redrill or adapters?

                    Adaptec adapters. These were originally for my Sierra cosworth project, so they are a 4x108 ford setup. All hub centric really nice parts.

                            You feel safe tracking with adapters? I have heard people worrying about this, but maybe its not a big deal. Luckily my car is quite slow so I don't have to worry too much :)

                              Just my opinion, being hub centric takes the load off of the hardware. Unless I hit something hard I think they are good to go. That would probably break the factory stuff first. Lots off pro teams run adaptors and spacers, that makes them ok with me.

                                What happened to that?
