1. It wouldn't ride like a rock. I did it to my RX all the time and it rode great.

 

2. It didnt' mess up the outside of the tires either. The strut needs to be mounted correctly.

 

3. It won't pull to one side or the other unless the front tires didn't match or pressures didn't match.

 

 

I have my brat raised like that. The thing I see is the tires are too small and the H style wheels have the wrong offset for an '82. They sit under too far. Put a nice set of white wagons on there with the correct size tire with raised white letter and you would be stylin'!:headbang:

 

 

:rolleyes:

The ea81 and ea82 wagon wheels are different because the ea82 has slightly bigger brakes. The ea81 wagon wheels won't clear the ea82 calipers. I've had the 85+ premiers on one of my past Brats and they sat exactly as the stock wagon wheels did.

Not exactly. I just measured them and the offset difference between an H style wheel and a stock wagon wheel for an '82 is about 1/2". It does make a difference in the way it looks on the car and the way the car handles corners. The H style wheel and the '85 wagon wheel have the same offset. I've never had any other '85-'92 wheels, but I'm sure they all have the same offset besides the Brat wheels. The Brats' offset never changed in '85.

Sorry cobcob, I was quoting 75subie but I didn't include the pic. It was the one with his brown Brat. His tires look like 175's too.

 

I just had a set of H style wheels redone professionally and it cost $600. They look better than new. Not sure it was worth $600. I only paid $250 for the wagon I put them on.:-\

cob, I really need one of the wheels. Let me know where you got them and how much they cost. I will have a full size spare on the Brat, just like the wagon, and I would like for them to match. There are none around here that I can find.
