    Re: i took out the spacers on the front wheels

    actually that was a rant a few months ago, a raccoon ate it or ran off with it. i hit up ebay and got 2 grills and 2 foglights, the foglight fit but the grill was about 2in to long! i took a metabo with a cutoff wheel (like a 4in dewalt grinder but 6in and higher rpm) and cut it off till it fit. since the clips were cut off, the drive-through car wash ate it. i need to find a junk yard with some spare parts.


    edit-

    forgot to mention these parts were shipped from china. the grill was the only thing that didnt fit.

    Hmm it looks nice. My one question is how do you know what size spacer to use? I'm assuming you just measure it and do it that way.

    i needed spacers because they hit the brakes, i didnt have the tools to fix the problem. i dont know how to get the correct spacers based off the offset of a wheel if thats what youre asking.

    Lincoln Nebraska is where they went in the movie Yes man. I'm sorry that has nothing to do with the thread. Car looks nice though. I scored some fog covers at pick and pull for $5. Check your local junk yard!

    you must have non-oem rotors, because those wheels never touched my calipers....very weird.
