Hard Knocks

So this may be written out of frustration: I ordered the wheel spacers/adapters to be 4x110mm to 5x114.3mm and I got a call from the company saying their data base says the 81 rx7 has 4x108mm bolt patterns (ezaccessory.com as mentioned in the first post) and that they already shipped this updated item - "if it doesn't fit send it back." Well of course it does not fit, I used the Mazda repair manual specifically to get this bolt pattern as well as four years of researching many other persons posts about bolt pattern size. So the 108's are just so small that I cannot fit a socket into the hole to tighten the wheel bolts. Great. Spend more money to ship them back and wait another week to get the rear axle finished. The moral of the story is stand up for what you know and don't let some person over the phone make a "better judgement" and be proactive about what you know. If you have valid information, get it out there!
