Hey guys, i noticed that my rear drivers tire is hitting the frame/inner fender and has less clearance than the passenger side rear tire. I have 4 front GTA wheels on the car with M/T 255/50 drag radials. Surprised to find out that the diff isnt perfectly centered, heard that these cars sometimes come from factory like that. And also surprised that im having issues with 4 front gta wheels. Where is the stamp that says "front" on the wheels located? Gonna make sure they are fronts.
Anyway regardless of what i have i have to make a change for proper fit. I'm looking into a set of quality spacers/adapters. Leaning towards adapters. Seen the cheap cast aluminum spacers from summit racing (Mr. Gasket) and they don't look like something i wanna put in my drive wheels. Looking for CNC machined billet aluminum. Heard that wheel adapters can be safer than slip on spacers, and i could kill 2 birds by fixing my clearance issues while improving stance (wheels are so far from wheel well on the outside).
Question is... Would you go with adapters or spacers? What size?
Also, with adapters...hub centric or not?
Also, will i need longer studs for any of these applications?
Found these spacers/adapters below on eBay, they look better than the Mr. Gaskets and are CNC machined, tell me what you think or give your recommendation on some billet aluminum adapters/spacers if you know of any. Thanks.
Don't really want to buy off eBay if you guys know of someone that makes them that will def fit our cars.
