Wheels....you are riding on one of the best looking wheels available for a 993. Other options: MY02, the new Fuchs, or many more if you want the more custom look and "busier" wheels...that are harder to clean.
Thanks for the help im going to check around. Old set up wasn't wide enough and the spacers that are currentlyon there are rediculous lol

Go to Elephant Racing! They'll have everything you need to get that thing to plant.

Haha it was a 71 Nova super clean in and out nothing too crazy just a 383 stroker motor with a lot of aluminum performance parts, believe it was all roller. (Didn't build it myself) Had to sell it to get more cash for this current build She literally broke necks and got way too much attention which was fun but annoying at times lol.

Can you share some pics of the spacers the car has on at the moment ?
How do you think it will be possible to resolve the spacer issue ?

Good luck with the project.

I really have no clue I might have to run similar style set up. It looks like trash

Broke down that nasty crusty motor and sent it to get decked and bored over.
Just got some goodies in the mail as well to rebuild the top end.

1st day on RL in a long time, and I stumble on this. Isn't there a dedicated forum to V8 conversions elsewhere? Renegade V8 or something.

we have guys making threads about taking their car out for a drive, sniffing it, or looking at it in the garage and you're insinuating the dude putting a V8 in a 993 take it someplace else? lol

Sorry that I hurt your feelings. You want to direct me to the forum?

You don't get Google at your place? Read my post, cut and paste, voila.

If you haven't figured it out, you're not going to get much input on putting a V8 into a 911, based on experience here.
