[Shotimes] my 89 SHO Sr 72 update

[Christian Andretta]

I think you will need a spacer to push the wheel out about an 1/8th of an
inch.  The stock wheels don't offer much clearance between the edge of the
caliper and the wheel with the wider rotor. Josh had some prototype spacers
on wheels he was showing at the convention.  H&R springs also offers a Volvo
fitment offset spacer that will work.

speaking of wilwoods, I would be seriously interested in asking Todd
about a 1.25" rotor upgrade. I know that Josh might have gotten some
sort of similar setup. There is a huge problem with caliper clearance
but I think that Todd was able to figure something out...

The .81 rotors are just sooo tiny...
