Thanks GTS.
Threadjacker! Backspacing is the distance from where the wheel mounts on your hub to the wheel half-width.
Yeah, it's a weird measurement. Tirerack has a great tech article about it. Bu...

Can I have a witness that 215/40-17 wheels/tires (or larger) will work on a 94/1.8/liftback with 1" drop (or lower).
Tirerack can't be sure about backspacing and such. Thanks.

Good news it's not shaking, no warped rotors of messed up calipers.
If it's just a noise, check your pad thickness. On most pads, the clip that holds them in scrapes the rotor when they're worn down....

Hmmm, maybe that sounded to WTBey. I do, but a recommendation would be best. I'd rather not get stuck going through the dealer or some sketch online place.

For anyone's gratification:
What a busted boot looks like.
Raybestos STS rotors and pads.
The rotors warp like an army man under a heat lamp.

I was changing tires and noticed my cv boot was toast. What's more my p.o.s. Raybestos rotors are warped so I figured I'll go for the twofer.

Considering putting some smoke tint on them. 5-led ambers from superbriteleds.com. Got the clear signals too, but they don't fit the 94 front end. Grrr.
