water-pumpers

[gcorrado]

my cal look was crushed last week by a hummer. (i sh*t you not.) i'm looking to start anew perhaps with a GL from a 69 sunroof i found.

i'd very much like to use some of the 5-lug wheels fitted on modern VWs. Car will be ball joint front end, CB drop spindles, VW trailing arms, CB discs all around. I'd like to stay away from spacers if possible (I autocross so i'm a bit concerned about increasing the unspring weight).

are spacers an necessity with water pumper wheels because of the castellated nuts? are stock fenders out of the question? any thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated.

thanks,
gcorrado
