JUST FOR MEASURING. DO NOT DRIVE CAR WITH THESE PARTS INSTALLED.

Buy a hand full of 1/2" washers from Home Depot and use those.

- Remove the wheel
- Place 1 or 2 washers on each wheel stud
- Install wheel on car
- Lower car to ground (weight on wheels)
- Firmly tighten lug nuts
- Check wheel and tire for clearance
- Remove or add washers until you have the clearance you need
- Remove wheel
- Remove washers and note how many were needed
- Measure height of washer stack
- That is the size spacer you need

I recommend putting the car on some 2" high x 12" wide pieces of wood planking for the fit check. This extra clearance allows you to het your head under the front of the car to check clearances.

Later ... Larry S.
