LMAO! Stacy would kill me if I bought another one right now...

Tell her you got it on sale. for an additional $100, i can provide a bill of sale that will match whatever price you tell her.

You’ll have to ask Chris at the Midwest Meet about how he found out 96+ seatbelts won’t click into 94-95 latches.

For your wheels, you’ll probably want spacers. 17x7 +40 will fit but will be near stock fitment. My Caldina wheels are 17x7 +45 (so 5mm more sunk in than your Konigs) and while they fit, they don’t look good at that offset. I’m running 15mm spacers to make the wheels effectively +30 and front fitment is okay, but rear should really have a 20-25 mm spacer for better fitment. I’m not after stance or flush fitment so I’ve left it, but you’ll see what I mean when you get the wheels mounted. Just a little bit more flush will make the car look a lot more aggressive.

>She'll need spacers for that hella flush fitment. 10mm front and 15mm rear.

Annette, where'd you get the camber bolts from?

>John has taught me so much! The guy really knows his stuff. And yes, he did mention that he used to be involved in the 6gc world.

What kind of spacers do you recommend? From my research, it seems like I should go with hub centric bolt on spacers. I have not yet looked into brand and quality yet.

>Ideal Offset in Relation to Wheel Width (standard ride height):
Width - Offset
7.0"-----30mm with 15mm spacer (effectively 15mm) *
7.5"-----31mm with 10mm spacer (effectively 21mm) *
8.0"-----33mm with 05mm spacer (effectively 28mm) *
8.5"-----35mm
9.0"-----42mm (probably too wide no matter what offset)

This will make the rim almost flush with the side of the body. These offsets and offset/spacer combos will prevent the "sucked in look" that the factory wheels have.

Ideal Offset in Relation to Wheel Width (lower ride height):
Width - Offset
7.0"-----36mm with 10mm spacer (effectively 26mm) *
7.5"-----33mm
8.0"-----40mm
8.5"-----46mm *
9.0"-----53mm (probably too wide no matter what offset)

The rim will sit just behind the fender. In order for the rims to tuck into the fender well on lowered cars the the rim must sit back into the wheel well by 11mm compared to the standard ride height offset recommendations.

* Clearance issues prevent the use of most rims with offsets lower than 30mm. The spacer will actually lower the offset and at the same time move the rim away from the offending components.
* 8.5" rims may or may not fit on lowered cars.

Offsets shown are positive.

Offset is measured from the wheels center line to the mounting surface.
