    Ferrari wheel experiment failed (sorta)

    Yet Tire Rack will gladly sell you a 21 x 9.5, +45 wheel (and tell you to put a 245/40R21 tire on it). It must be right on the ragged edge of what will fit.

    Ordering a CX-5

    Theres no point. Other than colors and maybe an option package, there are no factory build options within a trim level. Everything else is a port- or dealer-installed accessory. You may have to get a dealer to order a vehicle with a particular combination, but its not going to be a customized...

    Where to find japanese oil filter?

    Yeah, Amazon specifically says that the PY8W-14-302 doesnt fit my CX-5. Its a prime example of why I always double check things like that.

    CX-5 Oil filter specs?

    Maybe I should be happy I got a turbo? I mean... for yet another reason. I just got three filters from Avondale for $27.

    Not gonna flame you, but I feel like I do have to point out that you over-paid by almost a factor of two.

    Pick Up Reserve tommorrow....

    I've never heard them called recovery hooks. Hell, I bet 90% of people see them in the spare tire well and say 'what's that?'

    Pick Up Reserve tommorrow....

    Towing hooks or eyes should really be called recovery hooks - they're not good for much more than winching the car out of a ditch or onto a rollback.

    255/55*R19*on*Signature?

    They'll mount on your wheels, but I might have reservations about whether they'll fit in your wheel wells without rubbing. They also look to be pretty heavy tires. What specific tire are you looking at?

    Disappointed with TPMS system.....do I understand it correctly?

    Also speaking from the perspective of an automotive engineer, I think my first issue with individual pressure readings would be the need to reprogram the system whenever you rotated tires or switched to a winter set. I'll take the simple idiot light if it means I can just put a wheel wherever I...

    Does the TPMS alert say which tire is low?

    Nope. For 2008 Toyota added a TPMS reset button. Mine required plugging in a scan tool.
