(Thread Starter) |   Not Ranked : 0 score  Mock Up Wheel Spacers After some creative exploration - (ripping apart front struts and visiting some local welding shops). I came to the realization that fitting these wheel without spacers is going to be a much larger project than I have time for right now. Bummer. So I decided to mock up some hpde wheel spacers and find out what the wheel to strut clearance looks like. spacers are 67.1 for the mazda center bore and 73mm for the aftermarket wheels by 17mm. Here are the pictures! |

(Thread Starter) | Not Ranked : 0 score After a little extra clearance-ing on the wheel studs (the only part I eyeballed) the mock up worked. No extended wheel studs needed  The good news is that there is a little more room there than I thought. I'll make some revisions and go down to 12mm and try again. |
