You'll be able to rotate your tires.
I get what your saying, but rub in the front is a big concern for me.


If these guys are all running a 9.5" wheel in the front with no rub I would be impressed


So hard to find good wheels 5x110. Considered the powell 5x114.3 hub conversion in the future but cant find any price on it.
18x9 seems more than enough, but 18x9.5 would look bad ass!

Most decent machine shops should be able to redrill hubs and rotors for you.

I see your from ohio. Maybe in a few months I could buy them and pick them up.


Kinda on a tight budget right now. I need to buy a clutch and a limited slip differential, as well as get them installed. Then the turbo kit I need to get going.


Ill get back to you on those in a few months if you still have them


Thanks

Looking at some ES2's for my LNF.

Is there any specs that fit good, and clear the brembos?
Was thinking 18x8.5 but not sure on offset and whatnot.

I'm in! Only pic I have so far-



MK1 wheels, 18 x 8.5, +45 backspacing, redrilled to 5 x 110, custom machined Motorsport Tech 3mm spacers with built in hub centric rings, 235/40/18 Nexen N5000+.

Had a couple bent stock wheels, then hit a big pothole which pinched a tire blowing out the sidewall and bent a 3rd wheel, hadn't planned on ever putting custom wheels on this car but here we are, and I really like the look now.
