    I believe the adapter sizes were like 20mm and like 30mm because of the different widths in the wheels.

    8.5's up front for the 30mm ish

    9.5's out back take the 20mm(smallest they can make and you will need to shave a hair off of your wheel studs so the adapters will sit flat.

    It gives you a total offset ranging from 25-35, I can't remember exact figures, your going to have to plug some numbers into the offset calculators.

    Biggest thing to do w/the adapter set-up is make sure the adapters are hub centric to the cars hub and the adapters are made so that they are hub centric to the rims. It'll ride like stock if not better.

    mine arent hub centric, i just make sure the wheels bolting on flat and evenly and the cones on the lug nuts center it. not really a big deal. my vette wheels are 9.5 all around.

                • Good to see you back!


                  Any stats on those wheels!? Still using adapters or they made them in our 5x110?? *EDIT* I Re-read your post!

                  What size adapters you going with? I'm assuming those wheels are about 9.5" wide @ like a +30 offest and your using 20mm adapters to probably a 5x114 bolt pattern...this is going to be nuts, hope those adapters make it in soon! lol

                  Wish I could get crazy aggressive on the Saturn, plastic fenders = fail

                  Can't wait to see pics man....I always like that design in a deep concave.

                    • How did you get negative camber in the rear? The car is a big inspiration! I loooove it! Also, What are the specs on your wheel adapters?

                        • weeee
                          @hotrod'04 the camber is adjusted via shims for the solid rear. took a lot of work and a lot of measuring to get it right.

                          • Nailed it!!! Looks superb man, that fender work in the rear definitely paid off!

                            How does she ride, you shaving tires yet? haha

                            9" wide all the way around?
