I am just getting started with Fieros as a hobby. I am completing an 86 SE and have replaced everything. I would be very interested in my next Fiero project. I am currently looking for a good donor and would be interested in the body kit. It is a cool throwback to the Ferrari cars of legend. Let me know when you get ready for production and a cost. Thanks and keep up the good work.

That looks great! Needs some deeper wheels. I hope I see one of these in person at a Fiero show..

Your right 2.5... I'm waiting until I change the front suspension out to see where it's at. Before I do any wheel changes. On the project.😊

Those wheels look great, try some wheel spacers. I got some 1" and they did a miracle on my car!

Hi Shemdog Thanks for the imput, I'm going to try some spacers but I think the front would require 2 - 3" to bring the wheels out to the lip. I could probably get away with 1" in the rear. I've. Got a set that I will try and see how it looks. I'm concerned that that much of a spacer on the front will cause driving problems. Any thoughts from the forum?
Cheers Wayne

They are nice wheels. I'm guessing youd need big spacers like 2-3 inch, different wheels that are deep, or change the suspension for such a wide body.

The current wheels do look nice, but IMO , i think you need a nice deep dish wheel. Yes you can add spacers, but the current wheels are going to look tiny from behind. Wheels are like the whip cream and cherry on top and go a long way in determining overall look. After putting all that hard work into this masterpiece, it would seem silly to skimp on the wheels.

Hey Wayne, I think you need to go with a wide-track suspension, at least for the front. The scrub radius on the front is already poor. Adding spacers makes it that much worse.
Spacers on the rear would be just ok. Some argue against them. But, as Exoticse said, you need a wide tire back there anyway. I don't recall your wheel sizes, but I'm going with a 10" rear wheel. I believe I would still need spacers for your body kit, though (25mm offset).
my 2 cents.
Bob
