OLDFLM,
So these rims have a different seat for the lug nut? I'm wondering if someone hasn't already had the mounting holes reamed out and the seats recut on a CNC to increase the bolt circle diam. .025". The total cost at that point probably makes a custom rim a better choice.

As far as the spacers go, I think any aftermarket brake kit will push the mounting surface out at least .25", eliminating my need for a spacer (I'm not a big fan of them either). In any case, I'll get my front suspension completed before I order wheels.

Have you decided what kind of wheels you're going to run on your 'Bird?
