1. With all these '87's lying around could you get them on a scale for weight measurements?

2. Wow the reps have a huge difference in look / concave-ness. Would they would clear Brembo calipers??

3. Looking forward to see this complete with OEM 10.5" wheels and flares on.


P.S. In case you decide to get brakes down the road, the OEM spoke comes millimeters from the caliper, here's a pic FWIW:

Wadya'll think? Now just to find time to put on those flares...
Matt I forgot to ask with the square set up in the pictures are you using any spacers on this front and rear? If so what is the thickness on spacers you are using to achieve the look?

Looks great. Haven't been too active lately on this forum but can you get the front flares from the dealer now?

Yes you can still get the front flare set from the dealer. I just purchased a set last week that was delivered yesterday.

What a sweet look! What I was hoping to do but had a hard time finding what would work, and had to get through inspection...so settled for 255/55/18 on 8.5s. . Spacers might help me now?
The other thing is that much meat on the hoof might really kill performance?

Need to be lowered. Look like something wrong with the suspension.

Wow I'm shocked at the different look of concave between OE and replica. My 168s are replicas but factory offsets and the rears on mine look like your OE 87 rears (et30 is pretty concave). But the looks is pretty damn good Matt!

In order to give some input, you currently have:
-1 OE set of staggered 87s
-1 replica set of staggered 87s
-1 OE chrome plate set of staggered 87s

Is that right? Oh yeah and btw after the front flares are on, no spacers are needed. H&R springs with the rear links would look good though

If it were me, I don't know how easy it is to strip chrome plating, but I'd refinish 4 square 10.5" 87 rears if you want to run 315s and 10.5's all around, so they match cosmetically as well as quality wise.

Take the OE fronts, and use them as a winter set in 9.5s as you'll get better snow traction with 275/40's.

Sell the replica set you could prob get some decent coin for it.

My 2 pennies...
