Re: [Amc-list] proportioning valve

Dave,
  You run the Stang wheels on yours.
 How much spacer did you need on the rear?
The local dealer is advertising Brand new takeoff Bullett wheels and 17" tires for $99 a piece.
I'm thinking of stopping by to scope them out and pick up a set for the American, I just CC's the list on using an WJ Aluminum carriered D44 for this, for the disc brakes and bling factor you know!
  I was wondering how big a spacer the 62 needed...
I have a Front brake setup that uses WJ rotors and 84-89 XJ calipers for the front. I'm going to pop the new WJ rotors on the 04 WJ [which I love BTW] and take the resurfaced ones off the WJ as the kit needs the rotors thinned a bit anyway. perfect timing.
  How much did you space the fronts?

Thanks.
