I've got some "4x100" "8mm" spacers. Bought them locally at Steve's Speed Shop so they were actually "4 lug" and "5/16ths" which is roughly 8mm. They're kinda huge, too big to line up exactly right with the rotor and rim, but it'll sandwich in there for sure.

This is such a slow process...

I just noticed that this thing says my project thread is 81 pages long until you change your thread view settings and it goes to 21. Makes this thread seem more epic.

I'm looking into tires. Looks like I can get some Kumho Solus tires in 195/65/14 for $65 apiece.

Damn?! Where from? Kuhmo's anywhere around me were like 140 for 195/65/R14's! And that was at a legit tire shop.

Theres a tire distributor in the city. I know a guy.

Isnt it amazing how much tire shops mark up prices to make money?

Good work hobo. Have you test fitted the wheels with the spacers by chance? Any rubbing on the brakes?

Do you have a projected date to have these wheels on?

The date is TODAY. Tires are in and waiting for me at the shop.

I'll bring spacers and rims up there after work and get them put on. There might not be enough daylight left for photos. We'll see. I might love them, I might hate the **** out of them. It almost makes no sense for me to have a set of winter tires in Arkansas. heh.

Soon.
