Post What is needed for 95' Z wheels on 90' Formula?

So what exactly is needed for these wheels to fit on the car? I tried it and needless to say, it didn't work. Thanks.

You need wheel spacers, go to www.thirdgen.org and search for wheel spacers. I think they run about 400$ but im not sure. the guys over there will have links to websites where you can order them threw, hope this helps

FWIW- I think those rims will look fugly on a 3rd gen. 4th gen guys can't seem to give those rims away, let alone justifying the cost of $300 spacers. I would stick with what you got if I were you, but I'm not and its your car so do what you want with it. Just my $.02

Well, the reason for this is because the wheels on the Formula are in pretty bad shape not to mention that I really don't like the look of them at all, sorry guys. I just wanted to see what they look like but I think that I will not seeing as the spacers are a lot more than I thought.
