    New shoes!

    Got the new Federal SS-595 185/60/13 tires and new-to-me wheels installed today. Everything went on without spacers!


    Don't mind the rust... I have rust free replacement fenders almost ready to go on

              They're for the Corolla, so 4 X 100mm. He has the swap. FYI, the centerbore is exact size, too. Perfect fit!

              Maybe Ian can post the offset. I can't recall if he ever did. I'd guess 40mm.

              No. I just enlarged one of the pics and there is a "45" on the wheel. That is undoubtedly the offset.

                  You nailed it! The 45 offset is probably why I don't have to run spacers on the back which I had to do with the Mazda alloys running the same size tire.

                    They look perfect. Very clean.
