The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

[bigsho]

I feel like some of my friends are growing up too fast. Printed out an S-Plan certificate for one of my friends that i grew up with. He bought a fully loaded cx9 and a trailer for his Ducati and his fiancs zx6r. Hope he hasnt knocked her up already

Somebody from HS?

has anyone seen anyone or used themselves the spacers off ebay? I was going to have some made but for $50 I can have these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/291072403299?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

I dunno if you remember Mack. He moved down to cincy in 8th grade. We've kept in touch throughout the years. He actually lived with Kevin down at OSU for a few years

Mack sounds like a cool guy.

JBR has them and they fit all Mazdas, unless you need more than 5MM.

 

[pmartz16]

need 8 or more and would prefer 10mm. I had a set of JBR 5mm before now and I need larger ones

 

[tweiss3]

I'm thinking of picking up a fresh battery for the 6 tonight, and see if I can get it started

Can't you get another set and stack them for 10mm space?

 

[pmartz16]

IDK how I feel about stacking spacers. and it would be like another $160 as I gave the old ones to Baby Marc

You'd probably run out of space on the hub for them to sit, which would make them a PITA to install properly.

you have the studs for them to line up on but I just don't like the idea of multiple spacers

 

[WillD]

Yeah but that won't put them in a true "hubcentric" position which could cause wheel vibration. That's why most wheels are designed to use lugs with conical (or similar) seats.

 

[pmartz16]

true so those spacers that don't have the 67.1 center bore will not do well?

 

[WillD]

Well even if it is off a little bit the weight isn't going to be centered on the hub. Isn't that the point of wheel weights?

Maybe it isn't that big of a deal, I dunno.

 

[eprx799]

Why not just buy wheels with the proper offset.

 

[princess peach]

Why not just buy wheels with the proper offset.

You're making too much sense.

There is a set of wheels I'd really like to get for the MSM, but I don't want to deal with a zero offset.
