Ridge Tech

what to you get when you spend hours pressing studs by hand only to waste $20 to find out that your FD rims still dont on your car even with $115 a pair spacers, a pissed off Ridge Tech! (that was my short rant)

anywho, what can I do to make these f@ckers fit. I was told the 15mm spacers i bought was all I needed, but even with those the tire (255/50) still hits the spring and the strut. I tried rotating the sturt mount to give me some more camber but that didn't help (dot to inside of the finder). I don't want to grind away of the spring but that is that it's looking like i'm going to have to do. I only need about 5mm more of clearance and I'll be good to go.

Mr. Gasket makes spacers that will work that only cost about $15 a pair.... Not sure on what sizes are made or what you need. But I didn't think those wheels were a big issue to fit...? :???:

Ridge Tech

i didn't either

Add another 1/8" spacer to each existing spacer?

I think you were about 10mm too short using 15 mm spacers.

I have always understood that the FD wheel was a 50ET which means you would need about a 25mm spacer for the front

Are you sure about the "255/50" tires?&nbsp You sure you didn't mean "225/50"?&nbsp 255's are not going to fit under the front stock fenders short of some drastic suspension surgery.

ted your right, I ment 225/50, I was sold the spacers by a guy on the board that said he had used the 15mm and worked fine. I'm trying to remember his name and see If I can't exchage them for 25mm spacers. If you are that guy please PM me

You might be able to get away with a 20mm if you used 205/55 tires
