Default Wheel Question?

Hey guys, am picking up my 93' Gs tommorow. The car does have after market wheels on them, but my whole deal is, how exactly do you remove the gap from the fender to the wheel, i dont know if am saying that right but...
Something about spacers, can someone give me the lowdown?



See how the rim is more into the fender in the back?

Ok, is there a difference between the spacers & adapters?

Is the bolt pattern 5/114.3?

Any info will be appreciated.

i would say worry about the engine more than the gap in the fenders! overheating is a big issue with our cars and they will cause you to rebuilt the engine in the near future! i am only speaking from personal experience! goodluck with the purchase!

Man I've had my gs3 since march and havent had an over heating problem yet hopefully my car keeps up but yea your main worry should be about the maintenance of your engine because about a month into my car I did have to change the belt tensioner and serpentine belt because they snapped had to tow the car home ever since then I've been good

but back on topic! i would suggest buying the Megan 32 Way Adjustable Coilovers! you can make the ride almost near stock comfort and get low enough for most genres of build (again personal experience)!
