I have found wheel adapters at h&r springs to accomadate porsche 5/130 (71.6
CB) for $189/pair. A little more than I would have guessed, but seeing more
porsche rolling vanagons is wetting my appetite. Would 7 1/2x17" inch front
and 9X17" rears have clearence problems? i forgot how amazing this list is,
its been a while since I've been on the list... feels good to have such vast
group of like minded people a click away... thanks for the help.
