The good, the bad and the ugly.
Ok, I got the new wheels/tires mounted on the car. The good news is that I take back everything bad I said about the look of the 18"wheels. I think they look pretty good. The bad and the ugly is that I have a rub on the left front at the rear on the outside. The reason for that is that when I changed the front calipers to the Wilwood D52s, they needed a 1/4" spacer so the wheel would clear them. As a result, they installed longer wheel studs. I tried to see if I could mount these without the spacer but the studs are too long. So I need to ditch the spacers and get some factory length studs. I hope that will be enough to fix it.
