No, actually just swapping the ring gear onto the Zexel, I didn't even require shims to get the mesh right...
These GSC's look fat under our cars, I love'em, there probably the widest tire(tread) in the stock size you can get. And I love the "Formula rain tire" looking offset tread pattern!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't using a 215 be better than like
a 245 or 275? Due to the fact the rain can escape through the tread
patterns quicker.. Just speculation.. I currently am running 275/40/17
BF Goodrich. Talk about no rain traction.. *cringe*

your car is an '88, so you'll need 28 spline axles.
