      RATS! It looks like the Aspire swap will have to be put on hold temporarily due to lack of correct wheels. Unless the donor car has wheels. Are those stock wheels 13 or 14"?

          The knuckles are forged steel, not cast iron. As you note, cast iron is way too brittle for such a use...

            These tires are $50~ apiece, fit the 13" Aspire steel wheel, and are within 1.3% of the stock OD: https://www.groupbuytires.com/165-65...e#.UN21ILwo6Sw
