An update for something that prolly no one remembers (from when I posted the Q45 meshies (+37, 15x7.5) I got to use for winter... I stuck em on the car today:

Since the friend I lent my Q45 wheels to demolished 1 (and mangled another) of them, I ended up getting a pair of J30 wheels cheap (i.e. free). The J30's are in front with a 1/4" spacer.

Looks like I need at least a .75" spacer in the rear, and a 1/2" spacer in the front. Waiting for my friend to machine 'em out before I attempt to post pics on "flushness".

Anyways, the J30 rims actually grew on me, I like them more than the lipped Q rims (my best friend thinks the opposite). As always, comments and such are welcome.

haha, lets see some pictures man, god i wish the chevette had some more hp, christ top speed of 60mph, and living in a hilly area sucks, going 25mph up hills, maybe i can cut the floor out, and go flintstone style for some added hp, ha....being carbed, i wonder how hard it would be to turbo...me thinks....

*edit* i did try finding meshies for it, but everything i found was the wrong bolt pattern or the center hole wasnt big enough, as it was i had to dremel the center of the escort rims to fit in the back. the front would have needed like 2 inch spacers to fit, so im rocking out 13s in the front and 15s in the back, so sick man. but it is fun being rwd and having enough traction to get around
