I'm glad to see this thread, I just ordered a set of silver FR500s yesterday. Now it seems to be a PITA to find 94-95 spindles.

How much beating and fender rolling did you have to do to get them to fit? What size are the rear tires? 315/35/17?

 

[deftsound]

epiks got one

 

[stykthyn]

Yes, 315/35/17, a lot of pounding and rolling. It wasn't easy and I will never do it again. For a straight line or show car this set up is fine. I rub in the back if I take a corner too fast. Speed bumps are fine, but the bottom of steep inclines also cause me to rub. I could possibly roll/flair the fender a tad more but its going to take more than a baseball bat to do it.

who owns the maroon one with the heat extractor hood? and what size tires is everyone running up front?

 

[stykthyn]

Not sure who owns the maroon one,that is an old pic. Its been floating around for at least 5 years.

 

[88LX]

90notch_5.0 what size front tires and what brand? im trying to see what may work with those rims on my 89.

 

[Boostedpimp]

245/40/17's and 275/40/17's on mine.. I have to replace my front tires though and just picked up some kumhos brand new for $100 but there 235/40's so I have a feeling they will fit fine but look stupid
