looks awesome! been looking at pics for hours. found bmw replicas by voxx at a reasonable price (unlike forgeline). it is way past time for the radial T/A's S rating and date code(01)

how, where did you come up with the adapters? please share

This was my 80 with Halibrand 18 x 9.5, 265/40/18 front, 285/40/18 rear tires. Have since sold the car.

This is my 75 Convertible with Vision 18 x 9.5, 265/40/18 front, 285/40/18 rear tires. Hope to have it up running this summer. It is sitting high in the photo because the engine and tranny are not in it.

back spacing question

just put a new compete rear in my 79 with 2 inch offset trailing arms. I currently have AR wheels with 5" back spacing and would like to go to the 18x10 ARs with 5.75" back spacing. Will this be any issue with the offset trailing arms, or other components?
