demuire Posted December 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 Power steering ones are about an inch shorter. Quicker rack. Umm... Does anyone have any spare 14" or larger wheels in RWD offset with 4x114.3 stud pattern, any sort of tyres? I kinda just realised that once I put all this gear on I can't push the car around anymore because I have no wheels that fit on the front! :) Maybe I'll just put it all together and leave the calipers off, the 13" steelies *might* fit over the discs by themselves...

demuire Posted December 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 Well, see I just need to use the wheels temporarily so i can wheel the car around, so doesn't need to look good, or even be in good condition, as long as they bolt on and can roll around I'm happy :) NickAE86: Most of the work done by me, shortening and welding of the ring to support the sleeves done by someone I know (don't trust my welding enough yet).
