Hello Kai,
Thank you for your response. I have checked with some of the local wheel
shops, and did discuss those wheels spacers. The problem is the back spacing
for FWD cars would require between a 1 1/2" to a 3" spacer (depending on wheel
and original application) to fit on a TR, so that type of spacer wouldn't be
safe or practical. A custom spacer that bolted to the hub, and then the wheel
bolted onto is one of the solutions I have explored and is possible. When I
have a little more time, I will do a write-up of the options I explored, and
why I arrived at the one I'm currently exploring.
Thanks again,
Raymond
