So here is what I have plannd.

1992 SC

swap to 1994 spindles and 1994 hubs, then use cobra brakes (calipers and rotors) up front

i plan on using the cobra rear hubs (if I can find them) or drill cobra rear rotors to fit. manufacture brackets to move stock calipers to fit. like in this write up
http://home.comcast.net/~dlfraleigh/Article.html

but my problem is this. I have a set of tires 225-50 17 tires. (free and need to use them)

but ultimatly i plan to purchase 245-45-17 tires

but the rims I have are this... 17x8 with 5.91 backspacing from a previous car with same 5x114 bolt circle. the rims mentioned in the directions use a 5.72 back spacing.

is there enough clearance using this setup to fit another 1/4 (actually .20") of backspacing in there????

thanks
