ATTENTION!!!

If you are still running the IFS on your 93, and you have more than 2" backspace on the rims (15x8), the tires will rub the upper control arms. With the amount mine was rubbing, it will ruin a tire in a hurry! You will have to run spacers to use those rims. I found out the hard way. :hammer: I put 36x1350-15's on 15x8's with 3.75 BS, and neither I nor the shop checked for any rubbing. 1.5" spacers would have corrected this, but I traded for different rims, 15x10 3.75 BS.

Edit: just read your sig line again. but, I will leave this for anyone else.
It ain't worth doin' if you don't have to clean up afterwards!

Build it, break it, fix it, repeat until your wallet is empty.
