brought body back on frame, put the stock rear end back on and tested the wheels again - wheel rubs bad on inside of the frame. will try a wheel adapter to make it fit but maybe will also notch the frame a little. but will test with a adapter first.

unfortunately front wheels won't clear C5 calipers/brakes without spacers. but I'll get some 20mm adapters/spacers on rear and will try them on front as well.

fronts are 20x8.5 with 5.25 BS and rears are 20x10 with 5.5 BS

oh and here some pics of my sweet nice doors :D

Some more work Kev! Nothing you could not fix!

thanks! :)

I test fitted H&R 20mm adapters/spacers on each side today. for first on fronts - now the front wheels clear the C5 calipers :thumbsup:

so I tried the 20mm spacer on the rear and it looked like this:

I think it looks okay and clears the frame now - but I think I want 30mm spacers now :D just added some washers to simulate a 30mm spacer:

Please note there's no weight/interior/doors/engine in the car so thats why the suspension is pretty high right now LOL

oh and here's another cool shot (with 20mm spacers):

Looking fine now! Even with the 20mm spacers. You probably need to roll the fenders with 30mm.

I agree with Knaller the 30's might be tight to the outside.

"Swoosh" 08-05-2012 01:30 AM

thanks guys! yeah I'll cut and roll the fenders lips :thumbsup:

"Swoosh" 08-18-2012 11:30 AM

today I cut my rear fender lips a little. stock lips are about 1" wide.

I half cut them and will roll them later to clear the tires.

I removed the rear springs yesterday and set the car's height to what I want the ride height later. I wanted to see if it'll fit with the trimmed fenders lips and the 30mm spacer. Looks like I just need to roll the lips now and I'll be set.
