""Good spacers are not cheap, or easily found for the four bolt disc/drum setup.""

It's not that bad. Performance Products has them (the 4 bolt) and I recently found out that it is $22.98 for a pair (not each as I originally thought) and they are about to run another 20% off holiday special.

Another member has offered to sell me some spacers and I'm just waiting to hear if they are 4 bolt. If not, I'll just get them from PP during the sale.

(I may still take them if they are 5 bolt to use on the 924S but the NA really needs them).

The inexpensive spacers sold by PP are flat. They are not "hubcentric" (they don't have the centering flange), they are cast (cast spacers are cheaper), and do not balance as well as the machined spacers).

Pictures of rims I'm selling. They have 215/60/14 Yokohama S306s mounted. They were made for the 924 sometime in 1980. No need for spacers.

does anyone have a set of 4-bolt factory or properly built spacers that they could measure the outer diameter of?

The cost of freighting a couple of slabs of metal to here is just not worth it so I figure I'll run one up on a CAD program and get a pair plasma cut.

I have a set of four 2" wide 4-bolt spacers for the 924 bolt pattern. If anybody is interested, I can send digital pictures. I got them from a car with the 944 body kit. They are aluminum and hubcentric with the locating recess in the center. They are an 8-hole design which means you bolt them the hub with studs and nuts and then the wheel bolts to the threaded holes in the spacer. This way you don't have to use ridiculously long lug bolts which would flex.

If you're using the 944 fenders, this is the cheap and easy way to get your wheels out to the fenders and use your original wheels.
