[Brian]

I get it. I've been looking at mine with the hood on, just through the removable snorkles. With the hood open there's tones of room.

Joe, I’ve ordered a set from Tornado (Andy) which I’m waiting on a batch to be finished up in January. You might want to contact him and see if they are all spoken for or if they have a set available for you.

BTW did you see my post about what coilover spring rates? What pound springs are you using for your car front & rear?

Would you do anything different with your wheel/brake combo if you were to do things over? I've been talking with Chris and ET Mags trying to get something figured out. It seems like brake caliper clearance is tight with the AC wheels.

 

[Joe]

shifter and linkage complete.catch can is temp in spot where I want it but wont mount till headers installed just incase need to move alil. Everything is mounted,as you can see my bulkhead is clean just as I like it lol.onlything on it is expansion tank.

Not at all, Im very happy with it.the spacers I needed in the front to clear calipers gave the car a better stance aswell and fits well better.

When I spoke with Chris, he mentioned that his setup and the 15's would require a rear caliper on the front...I've been looking at those ET Mags as well, did chris say they'd work?

 

[joe]

They obviously work since Joe has them on his car...but we are talking about 18" wheels. I almost feel like ET is talking in circles. They tell me the wheels won't work with Chris's backspacing recommendations and Wilwood brakes, but people get the combo to work on their cars!

Joe...do you have a picture of the wheel without the knock off on it? I'm thinking about going with bolt on and exposed longer wheel studs and lugs.

I don’t on a strait on view, if you zoom in pic I don’t have the rear on.I’ll pull off tomorrow and send you pics of my exact setup from spacers to wheel without knock off

 

[Joe]

@jlwdvm if you ever wanted to use the covers I found 1/2 longer wheel studs for the rear to make up for 1/4 spacers (cover clears) and the front if use arp extended studs with 3/4 spacer not hub extender as I have you should still clear the cover

 

[Brian]

Too many Joes up in here. You guys are confusing me.

 

[joe]

I'm sure it is probably a no-go, but I originally wanted to go with pin drive, but not sure i could make that work with spacers.

The trigo adapters might actually work because technically they become the spacer.question is, would you be able to get front set a lil thicker
