Thanks Andrew. I now have to get some 12mm and 10mm spacers for the right stance.

 

Where do the spacers go?

 

Spacers are used to push out the wheels a bit. They go on before the wheel.

 

Thought you were talking about suspension spacers... Used them on my Porsche's rear wheels years ago...

 

Nice ride FP!!! Happy to have you back brother.

Since those are Mandrus wheels, the fronts should actually be OK on the spacing, the rears might need a little help.

Lookin' sharp bud.

 

I think these are the same wheels you have, right? Are these ball bolts?

 

Similar.

Mine are the Mandrus Rotec... they are rotary-forged, and don't have a lip like yours. But yes, all Mandrus wheels use ball bolts.

My front wheels have an offset of +32mm, and the wheel's face is perfectly flush with the fender. Stance is perfect. The rears need a little help... I've been meaning to get some 15mm spacers but simply haven't gotten around to it.

 

You picked the right thread to come back yourself.

 

Yes, I have been on a bit of a vacation... LOL.

I'll try to do better

 

Nice looking ride FP. Welcome back to the perma-grin club.

 

Nice looking FP, that didn't take long!

 

Did you take delivery of it yet? Just hoping it's everything the Ebay add claimed..

 

It's at the transporter terminal, and should be on a truck by Tuesday. Let's just hope it's everything it should be. There's always an element of risk when buying a car on ebay. You can only do your due diligence, and make sure the seller has a good reputation. This guy has a 100% good feedback, he sent me all the pics I requested, answered all my questions, and the car is protected by Ebays protection agreement. It's a calculated risk on a car that's only $7,500. That's all you can do.

 

Totally understand.. Wife's Vstar was an Ebay purchase..

 

I asked in another thread if anyone remembers this car. I knew I remember seeing it here. Good detective work with the help of JM (MI1XFIRE) we found it. This was Frank's (frankeyse) Crossfire. I don't know how many of his mods stayed with the car, but I'll try to find out. It seems he had just about the same mods I had in my black roadster.

 

Looks like a wonderful daily driver for $7500 - how many miles on it?

Welcome back, FP. That sure didnt take long.
