well yesterday I got the wood templates made and got them mounted to the evo III knuckle with the 1g 5lug hub in them. I had to tap the knuckle with a 5/8 tap to put the bolt in to it and get longer bolts for the brembos. It all went easy till I went to fit the 18's on it and they do not clear at all. the back spacing on the evo III knuckle is totaly diffrent from the evo 8/9 knuckle's offset. So now I am at a stand still because to make the fronts work I will need a 1/2in spacer or so to get the rims on them now. But the thing is if I put them 1/2 spacer on and mount it all on the car for mock up and it sticks out of the fender I will be scraping it all together.
here are the pics of what I have done to make them fit so far.
