Staggered, 15x7.5 front, and 15x8 rear IIRC The member I sold them to never even had a chance to install them, he wants to use his BBS wheels instead, he will most likely sell them on here soon. I don't have money for them as I have to fix the A/C at my house right now, sweating my butt off at home is not fun.Originally Posted by Dandy

Sucks to not have A/C in FL no matter what time of year it is but at least we are starting to get into the cooler months now. I'm going to "try" not to get distracted by other wheels right now as I think I have a plan. I should really test fit what I do have before I start lusting after something else. I need to organize my storage unit but I probably could hold another set of wheels if needed.
what's up with this project!! give me some inspiration!
More than inspiration, you need a good financial adviser to assist you with all the cash you are freeing up from letting go of some your roadster inventory.
I'll definitely post here when I have some real progress to share. I'm still in parts hoarding phase. It's so much easier to find time to shop and have parts delivered than it is to find the time and motivation to actually roll up the sleeves and "build."

I was planning to swap in a 1.8L into my car, then add FM2 and just put one of the spare MSM Turbo valve covers on the car I have laying about. But since you are doing the full swap I am interested to see how you are planning to do this, and what all is involved. There is also a spare MSM motor near my house so I could go the same route as you but wanted to see how yours comes out before I shell out $2k for an MSM Motor.
There is really no material difference with the MSM motor from other 1.8 engines. The main difference is in the MSM turbo and the exhaust fitment. There is some fabrication involved if you try to use the MSM turbo. I was convinced that cost-wise and performance-wise it was not worth it to try and make the MSM turbo fit. I will be going with FM and the GT2554R small turbo option. The exact device for engine management is yet to be determined.
I'll take a look at my parts list for the swap and probably come back and edit this post with the details.

Did Jenny go to Colorado? Or is there another brilliant individual out there sticking an MSM motor into a '93LE?
