Not with those HORRIFIC wheels it's not TIM. Turbo's are awesome your just jealous (will keep telling self that!) Anyway theyre better than pizza rims any day! (which I have on red wag lol) Anyway what do rims matter... currently both of the red vette hatches in question have boat anchor motors! (altho Andrews won't have for long me thinks...) Cul8r, the daihatsu dealer thing you said... why do they pull good tyres off and how do you know about this? Just curious... I can sell you some better rims  |

Well, if it's any consolation, I'll be needing them for a few months too. So we might just be able to work something out at the right time.

not sure if it was a lotus turbo or not. just bolt in basically but you need piazza tie rod ends as the tapers slightly larger

chevette now on e30 bottle cap wheels. piazza diff pushed the previous wheels out too far so cant use them. quite a good offset actually & most importantly plenty of room in between rear guards so shouldnt rub at all. brake lines are all connected now - ended up swapping rear brake lines from right to left as the exhaust was too close to the brake hose. now everything fits sweet and made use of the longer gemini brake hose i had made ages ago.   |

Wonder where you got the idea of the 'bottlecaps' from? Picked most of mine up for $20-30 a time - cheap and light!
They're an ET of 40, should be about right for the rear but witht he stock Chevette front end, just lightly contacts the dampers (shock's) on full droop - wouldn't be a problem with short dampers, though. I just use a 4mm spacer with 195/60 tyres. If it weren't for the WoF hassle, I wouldn't bother.
The main thing is is they prevent running the 1.5 negative camber I'd prefer to run.
With the Isuzu front hubs, what's the clearance like? I suspect they may have a slightly greater offset of the hub, so the camber can still be run at -1.5?
