You could buy 1" wheel adaptors and bring those wheels out flush with the fenders. More stress on the wheel bearings that way though.

Are you still wanting those turbo wheels or shall I put them on the open market when I'm ready to sell them?
Hey Bleach just curious, what do you want for the Turbo wheels? I might be interested in them. I am going today to see if I can get a job at Dominos for Saturdays and Sundays. If I get it, it wouldn't be long until I could get the rims from you! Let me know what you want, and maybe we can work something out!

those are pretty cool spacers. do they have diff thicknesses? The front rims on the 280zx's need to be pushed out .75" to get the 4 piston calipers to fit w/o rubbing.

If you cut those springs don't do it for cosmetic reasons. Do it for stiffness. If you were to cut enough out to lower the car a good amount then ride will suffer. And not a little bit. I'm talking making your dentist a rich man rough. To stiffen your ride, you can cut, at most, half a coil out, but I wouldn't even recommend that much. I'd just wait and get yourself some springs for less than $200. I'd hate to see you stop "enjoying the drive" over something like that. I've done a bit of experimenting with cutting springs on a few vehicles and have never like the results. Just a few words of advice my friend. But the car looks really good though. Keep it up.

Are you sure you didn't accidently install new tires instead?
