The blue works well on the white. I don't think blue rims would look as good on any other color.

Agreed.

And I think some blue on the sides could look good if done tastefully. I might end up using this as my inspiration

(Eventually) If I do go for this look though, I may swap the wheels out for something more "Motorsport" in the same color.

Hopefully Ill have tires mounted tomorrow and I picked up some more spacers tonight, so if all goes well they will REALLY be mounted tomorrow and Ill post some good pics (not crappy cell phone ones like the ones in this post).

Well, I dont think I can run a spacer any thicker than 1/4 inch due to the length of the studs. I stacked a couple of spacers and the lugnuts would barely thread back on, not safe by any means.

So my other option is to grind down the caliper. How safe is it to grind the caliper bracket (closest to the wheel hub)? Its got a spring on it, and Im not sure how much Ill need to grind to clear it.

If this doesnt work, my only other option is to find longer wheel studs... more work than I expected and it would have to wait til I have some money to get the parts (when I find them, not sure where I would order that).

Wheels studs are $2.00 each, without even shopping. Spacers usually come in 5mm->25mm in 5mm increments. Do a google search for 4x100 wheels spacers.

Those rims would look good, on my 1963 Meyers Manx Dune Buggy!!

I think he is still trying to sell them.

Spacer kits I've seen (H & R for example) usually come with longer studs to account for the difference? Are you taking that into consideration?

The rear looks HOT, man....
