little interference with the knuckles, they go on tapping 'em lightly with an hammer, and down with a large flat screw-driver.
more clearence with the rim, which goes up and down easily centered.

now wearing 185/65 r14 86t, with:
citroen c3 5.5Jx14 et24 steel rims on the front (with new tires);
peugeot 206 5.5Jx14 et34 steel rims on the rear.
(oem 14" 5.5/6j ford steelies are about et41/43, donno exactly)...

not cool nor good looking,
little more understeer. drifting comes whole a lot easier, which is what i was looking for.
also little more hi-speed stability, but it's not my case.
turn-in with a welded is quite a bitch though.

i also have drawn these 2mm shims,

with drum&disc brakes, std studs, there can be mounted:
1 shim per each wheel on the front,
2 shims per each wheel on the rear,

rims are already in budget for a drifter.
without purchasing wheel spacer or longer studs, if you don't give a damn about the look, a fine under/over-steer adjustement can be done either, for cheap, with ring and shims (not the best nor more effective, but just another mean).
just check on the web. there are a lot of et's avalaible between ford's, citroen's, peugeot's, 14"-15"-alloys and steelies, all 4x108 bolt pattern.
