Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
Everyone needs my manly strength! I'd help, but I'll be at work. I'm willing to swing by afterwards if he still needs a hand though.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
well yesterday I got the wood templates made and got them mounted to the evo III knuckle with the 1g 5lug hub in them. I had to tap the knuckle with a 5/8 tap to put the bolt in to it and get longer bolts for the brembos. It all went easy till I went to fit the 18's on it and they do not clear at all. the back spacing on the evo III knuckle is totaly diffrent from the evo 8/9 knuckle's offset. So now I am at a stand still because to make the fronts work I will need a 1/2in spacer or so to get the rims on them now. But the thing is if I put them 1/2 spacer on and mount it all on the car for mock up and it sticks out of the fender I will be scraping it all together.
here are the pics of what I have done to make them fit so far.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
that they are I might try to get some 1/2 spacers to get a little more room from the caliper to the rims

Close clearance just helps provide better fan like cooling. I say rock it!

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was always told that running a spacer, especially a 1/2" should be avoided at all cost?

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
Its not ideal, but if you have extended wheel studs and hubcentric spacers they will work just fine (only with some added stress to the wheel bearings). Running a non-hubcentric spacer, like the ones pictures above, can cause wheel vibration from imbalance if they aren't installed perfectly straight. Knowing Mark, it wouldn't surprise me if he just welded them right to the brake rotor to keep them centered!

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
the spacers are cheap from craig they were 10.00 for a set of 2. I am getting them from craig beacuse I can bring them back after I get them all set up to see what I need to run for a spacer then I can order a set that will bolt to the hubs and have the ring on them but just want to do it 1 time sense they are 90.00+shipping. It will all come down to if it all sits with in the fenders or not when it has the right spacers on it. If they dont I will just put on the 5 lug and the 2g aem big brake kit and be done with it and put the brembos on the spyder.
