Thank you (and others) for clearing some of this up for me and making me feel a lot more 'sane' again..
I've been told numerous times when I've asked about my wheel fitting problems - that "your calipers are wrong for your car" or "somebody has screwed around with your car and its not original" or the most common.. "what are you doing wrong to not be able to put a wheel on your car correctly" - from so many different sources..
As much as I feel better it still doesn't help the fact that I will have to probably spend more than I would wish and yet still not get exactly 'the look' I desire for my car, in order to achieve this..
Funny (mostly) part is: I spoke to a very nice and personable Zone Rep for American Racing at a route 66 race in Chicago a few years back and he, while offering me a fantastic deal on some wheels, offered no plausible excuse or reason why such wheels would not fit on my car with 4 piston calipers as I had described it to him - yet he was willing to ship me some immediately and agreed they would look amazing on a Z 2/8 model such as I had.. This was from him - "maybe you can find a machinist that would trim off a bit of the hub 'to get you on the road'" - this all pertaining to a new set of wheels he would sell and deliver to me, and AFTER fielding my fitment questions?!!
Thanks Guys - for you help in this!!
