After changing my mind 10 times, i finally decided to get deep dish 1 3/4 offset convos in 15x4, they fit easy, just have to redrill my import floating hubs to 5 stud and fit a 20mm bolt on spacer to clear the R32 gtst 4 spots...easy Have to wait to get the backs, as i want 15x8.5 with a 5 inch backspace(deep dish) and fit 28x9 or 28x10.5 et streets, so i will have to shorten the diff and fit 31 spline axles etc...it never ends cheers darren Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
