So there is no way that I can just take off my wheels and bolt these on...
How much do u grind it down?
What about runing spacers? Can I get some and just use those instead of having to grind down anything..

They should work if you use a 5/16 spacer. I had som on my car that I borrowed from a freind and they worked for the track. If they were mine I would have grinded the calipers to make them fit right.

Put the wheel on and look through the spokes as you turn the wheel you will see where you need to grind. As far as how much everyone I read about or talk to says different things. Some say not much others say quite a bit. So I would grind and test untill you feel it is there or you can be like me and get you a set of Convo Pros.

Wheels only from Jegs about $740 shipped to you in Houston at least thats what I remember from when I was looking. Wheels 172.99x2+139.99x2+lug nuts $25+spacers for fronts $15 plus shipping. You can find a semi used set with half life et streets and vw tires for about $800.
