Re: Best wheel size

I can fit 15x8 0 offset rear and +10 on my LA with stock guards so you could go wider

Re: 1976 LA Lancer 4g63t Build

I just had a proper read of the thread. EX struts wont work because the spring platforms are too big. I have a set of starion struts with the smaller platforms welded on that I wont be using for mine
