im having addapters made instead, they are .75 thick and i figured that way it wont be as bad on my bearings considering it has a monster back spacing and a bad positive offset and also i wont have to have my rotors redrilled everytime i change them also the rear brakes wont have to be redrilled haha. if i get a flat i can stick a chevy donut on it too.
wierd fact: newer chevy probly 04 and up im guessing 4x4 has the same lug size 14mm x 1.5 as a porsche so it will be alot cheaper than ordering porsche studs haha

ya im trying but i cant realy do much till i move it and i cant move it until ive got a front end on it, problem is the guy is trying to make these wheel adapters wich are 6.75" od on a lathe that only has a 5" chuck so hes gotta take no more than .020 of an inch at a time..... he does engine machine work so guess i should have done them myself
