Does any one see any issue's with these rims other than there not BBS. The offset is 30 our stock i think is 55. I'm not sure if center rings are needed due to the hub hole. Thanks

Not sure this helps but when Kappasphere released wheels for our cars back in the day the wheel specs were:
Front 18X8 50 offset
Rears 18X9 52 offset

Front 19X8.5 45 offset
Rear 19X9.5 55 offset

The wheels were called Gravana J2 also known as Monarch 410. Most folks went with 245s on the front and 275s on the rear.

Has anyone had tried to use hockey pucks for jack pads ?

I made some out of wood with magnets, but hockey pucks would certainly be easier

I like the magnet idea, but i wood leave them on there....and they would be gone. on another note I bought some nos navy landing cable rubber thingys that would be perfect for this..wish i had bought more than 2 and have no idea where they are now.the guys sell them at swap meats for jack pads...about 1~$3 each. ( there used to keep the cable up off the flight deck so the tail hook can grab it.) Ill have to tell my brother to pick me up some more,he hits lotsa swap meets all over the place. they may even be on flebay now.

I wonder if the later top seal supersedes the earlier one?

There were two different sets of instructions for locating the holes to be drilled in the Tulip Panel. There was a production change at one point that moved the metal bar that supported the Tulip Panel, and they changed the method of locating the position for drilling the holes. If you followed the original instructions you'd end up drilling directly into the support bar under the Tulip Panel.

YMMV

Finding this was way too easy:

I was close to being correct.
