$$$$$$$$$. I’m a typical Fiero owner. Nuff said. Haha haha.
Wheels and tires will be coming in a year or two. It’s so hard to buy new right now when my tire tread is at 95% And with COVID I think the car has 250 Maybe 300 miles on it this year so far. But yes they will get some meat in the back.
Chris (ephkay) has figured out the offsets and spacing on his I built a few years ago. Just a matter of funds right now.
Here is a picture he just sent me today. As he is working on exhaust but those tires.

Is there a build thread handy? How big are they?
285's fit under stock bodywork with stock suspension geometry... I'm closing in on a strut clamp extension design that *should* allow 18x11 and 315/30-18 to fit under stock bodywork.
By "under" I mean that the tire tucks inside the fender lip when the suspension is jounced to metal-to-metal contact. Due to "kingpin" inclination, the tire actually ends up a little outboard of the fender lip at ride height.

Yes and no. He has one but he hasn’t updated it in probably 6 months since he figured out the wheels and working on a new intake. But here is his personal page.

Thanks. I am going to reach out and ask one question. How do you control shrinking fiberglass? I have a couple spots that have puckered on its own. It’s nothing too concerning right now as I know I have a lot of fit and finish ahead of me, but just for future reference.

Not sure what "shrinkage" your talking about. All fiberglass has an inherent percentage of "shrinkage"....but in most cases, it's so insignificant and takes place over such a long period of time, it's basically inconsequential.
If you are getting parts that don't fit because of what you're calling shrinkage, I'd say there's something else that needs addressing.
Can you be a little more specific about the shrinkage you are dealing with?
Car is looking great. Kind of puts me in mind of a wide body that an outfit down in FL did back in the 80's or 90's, but sorry, can't remember who is was exactly. Theirs was a little bit more "extreme" on the WIDE aspect, but the body was all molded together, sort of how yours is coming along, and the wheel wells were particularly "eye catching".
Maybe somebody else remembers the one I'm talking about and who did it, and maybe even has a pic or two. I believe it (the car) was at the Daytona show one year too. It was painted gold.
HAGO!

Shrinkage my be the wrong word to use. I just have a few spots that were straight when they came out of the mold and straight after primer, but when the cooler weather hit there are a few spots that are not straight anymore. Again nothing a little blocking and a reprime won’t take care of.
