Reply to "Group 4 Steel Flare Help Requested"

Hockydude, one problem not discussed is that running wheel spacers requires longer wheel studs. That's not only expensive (stock studs are around $16 each; dunno what longer GT-5 studs cost) but in back it also requires you to remove and disassemble both rear bearing uprights to install such studs. Seems to me that custom offset wheels would be simpler & almost as cheap.
If you do go with spacers, while the rear uprights are apart, check the press fit on your outboard stub-axles. Many Panteras have sloppy fits from the factory that eventually destroys the stub axles and bearings. Current replacement stub-axles are stronger and heavier, of better steel and fit the bearings properly. Or maybe your car has already been upgraded? The 'good' axles are not hollow.
