Jason, My car was produced July 86 #42 Do you know if mine is of the final generation chassis?
I moved mine back 3/4" because that was "relatively" simple to do. This however, will still not center the wheel in the fender arch, it will just provide a little bit more clearance for slightly larger diameter tires.
