Still a work in progress... I estimate 37 days until tire roasting.

Any idea what the minimum thickness of hubcentric spacer with its own pressed studs is that will burry the stock wheel studs? Or I suppose, what's the exposed stud length on the front hubs? Someone post a photo of the back of a shakotan if you don't mind. Maybe they have pockets for some stud protrusion.

Ran into a bit of a conumdrum test fitting my 15x9-0mm Shakotans on my Z the other night... Installed GC coilovers with a 2.5" OD spring, 4 piston Wilwoods and AZcar a-arms and knuckles... Rim doesn't clear the tie rod end, not even close. I'm out in the field right now, but when I get back I'll do the other 3 corners, see if the rears clear the brakes (same front and rear) and go from there. Maybe I'll need to revert back to straight knuckles or run a large spacer...? With the 15x9-0mm it looks like I can get away with a fairly wide spacer and still stay under the fender lip with some camber. I'll post more pics, and info regarding these rims and Wilwood calipers / bump spacer clearance as I find out a solution. If the rod end wasn't in the way, it's questionable that these would clear the calipers anyway.

No axles to bolt these to right now. The struts are at GC getting sectioned for their 2.5" coils. Also went the no-flare route, though I don't why. 15x9-0 Rota Shakotan / 225/50R15 w Kuhmo KU-25.
