First of all let me start by giving a BIG thanks to Ernie from 402 Motoring for helping a brither out last night whe I was stessing out BAD! I had sold my stocks and they where long gone then thought the wheels and tires I got wheren't going to fit. So I was STRESSING BIG TIME!
I had bought some 1/4" spacers and the fronts fit fine but the rears where still rubbing! Well after a long sleepless and restless night I got up early this morning and decided to try and put (2) 1/4" spacers on the back to see if that would work for clearence issues. So I put both rears on and dropped it down in the back..........oh did I mention the car was sitting on jack stands with now wheels on her...........and low an behold they cleared just fine. Well after some checking I noticed I had quite a bit of clearance now! So I jacked her back up and put just the (1) 1/4" spacer on which I intended to do in the first place.
Well shout man once I got both rears on and dropped her down in the back the clearances where fine! Another member.......sorry don't remember your name right now..........had stated that maybe I just needed to drop the car and they would be fine well cudos to him cause that is exactly what I needed to do! So I am a happy man this morning got all four wheels on and I am rollin again. She has a slight vibration at 75mph but none at any other speed and she drives straight as an arrow but I will cal lmy guy and find out about the slight vibration at 75mph since I drive ALOT of highway miles for work!
Thanks again to those that chimed in that is what these forums are all about!!
So here are some quick pics of the "NEW SHOES"
