You'll need a lot more info about the wheels than that. Here is a complete writeup.

so the wheels did not fit, the tires hit my suspension and the wheel studs where too short.
any ways, i have a problem. i blew the top off of the two top spark plugs. i replace all for to prevent possible trouble in the future. i also replace my coils, ignitors, and spark plug wires. now for some reason, it runs like a four cylinder would run with a dropped cylinder. i dont think i fucked up the firing order because i did it one by one. and i know all of the coils are good because they shocked the **** out of me when i went to check them. how ever when i unplugged the spark plug wire to the top plug on the rear rotor, there was no change in sound. i pulled the plug out and the end of it was wet. it smelled like oil. any one know what could be causing this ****?

If you have wet trailing plugs, then the trailing plugs aren't getting spark. Make sure the wires into the Trailing coil (furthest back) are completely seated. If still not firing, put the Trailing coil previously back in.
As to the wire's being hooked up right, to make it simple:
The L coil is the one nearest the front of the car.
L1 wire goes to the front lower plug (front being the closest to you standing in front of the car)
L2 wire goes to the rear lower plug
T1 goes to the front top plug
T2 goes to the rear top plug.
Sidebar, you will really really hate the ride of 19's on a Vert. Think Kidney damage every time you drive over a Rail Road crossing.

Thanks
Wow. What a great tale of woe with your two verts. My 2 cents, there just aren't that many verts around anymore. If the body and underbody are solid, I would hang on to it.
If you still need a center cap, PM me. I have a spare that's a little nicked up but better than none.
Pretty sure that all verts came with leather seats & headrest speakers. After a while the leather just wears out. They are expensive to re-cover...swapping in cloth seats from a coupe is a cheap way out.
Thanks for sharing your adventures.
