I was told the VF101's need spacers for the rear for widebody cars. I'm surprised you don't need them on these. That's good news. Post pics when they are mounted.

Picked up the wheels today and had time to mount one of the rears. Fitment appears spot on with no spacers. New front rims are .5" wider and already already have two good sets of Pirelli P-0's. New rear rims are 1" wider and Michelin's up next T

Deep dish rears look great. Very aggressive looking.

I think nothing, my original brakes had no ears and the OEM replacements I put on had the ears, and I haven't noticed any difference.

Thanks plasti dipped one of the wheels today. Four basecoats of black followed by two topcoats coats of silver. If the finish color's not happening can always spray a few coats of another color or just pull it off...neat stuff. T
