Wheel spacers. Meh. The car handles fine as-is
That's cool about the body then. As for the wheels, I wasn't talking handling or performance in any way. Purely asthetics, haha.

Ya I know, I'm just not super concerned with asthetics or 'stance' on this car. It's subtle and clean, just my style If anyone has a set of 5mm spacers they wanna let me borrow, LMK. Otherwise I'll put the cash towards fixing this axe gouge in the qpanel.

Re: beaterX project thread

I can get you some washers to put on the wheel studs between the wheels and brakes. That'll space 'em out!

Re: beaterX project thread

The title needs changing...i wouldn't classify this as a beater anymore..maybe needs a little TLC, but no longer a beater. Well done Scheides...looks great man!

The trunk lid looks really nice now! Can't wait to see how the rest of the car looks when they get done with it.

Re: beaterX project thread

Looks nice!! It will be sweet when shes all patched up.

Yea dont bother with spacers because youd need 20mm and up spacers to even make the wheels flush. Which would look awesome, but thats just too much.

Longer studs, bolt on spacers... There are options that work and don't cost a lot.

Like I said, the opportunity is there to get it done on the cheap by some good guys in a pro shop. I like opportunities, not wheel spacers. But, like I said about 10x now, I'll consider it down the road, but just not gonna fuk with them right now. I don't need the hassle of shit not fitting, swapping rims to see what looks good, blah blah blah, I frankly don't care!

Everything I've done so far has been about simple, basic mods and maintenance: getting the car to a good baseline of a clean, reliable, evo. Turbo, wheel spacers or wider wheels, alky injection, underglow kit, and the air-ride kit will come in time. I've only owned the car for like two months!



I still can't believe I'm defending myself for not doing stupid shit to this car.

Re: beaterX project thread

I haven't been hating Scheides, i think your progress has been great. I just like joking around with you about a turbo/alky setup. Modding too fast is bad anyway, slow and steady wins the race.
