FD's on Proteges Club

[Wagonbacker9]

they are hubcentric, but they dont sit flush to the hub face. you're not always right.

You're absolutely right, I'm not always. But right now, I am.

badbandar... back me up... I did a test fit of my wheels tireless too, and they sat on the hub face perfectly. in fact, it stayed seated with no lug nut on...

 

[BadBandar]

^^They sat just fine for me too. Only the rear didnt sit well since i need spacers.

 

[Wagonbacker9]

maybe theres something different on the regular protege hub... idk. but no modifications are needed to seat on the hub for me..

This isn't the first I've heard of people saying they had to run a spacer on the FDs unless they machined them... so I'm curious what the issue might be..

 

[njaremka]

maybe the rear brake rotor on the MSP is slightly thicker. i think i would have had clearance to the strut, but the rim wouldnt sit flush to the hub face. my goal was to run sans spacers all around, but i couldnt because of the rear hub face issue.

I didn't have that problem with mine either

I'm considering selling mine. If anyone is interested let me know.

now i cant get my fender rolled because my rear fenders have bondo...fukc rust! and i cant cut the lip either because it will separate the fender form the shell(stg like that) and will rust even more, and my fender will be less rigid... my last option is to try to grind it a little AND run camber bolts+alignment...but damn im not even sur i will be able to have people in the back. so that makes my car useless for now. If im alone in the car its almost fine tho.im rubbing on medium bumps only.

my car is good for picturs ahah

Welcome to low.

Welcome to low.

and poor planning/fitment. lol this is part of why it took me FOREVER to get my big tires on. I wanted to make sure I was going to get the most tire, with the least rubbing.

 

[HKPRO5]

225/50 = Boss


Minimal rubbing with spacers an a proper fender roll.

I can clear that with no roll at 47 offset, but the sedan gets more rear clearance than the P5.

 

[alexelie]

225/45 for me...with about +44 offset. i think i wont be putting any more money on that car. i was planning coilover next year, but rust is decouraging me. This is the WORST thing that can happen to a car. And im not buying new rear fenders...too much money for a car that slow.
