As the calculator shows, it's the relationship between the mounting flange and the center of the wheel itself, which BTW has nothing to do with wheel width. If there is more wheel behind the flange than in front of it, pushed back under the fender if you will, the wheel is said to have a...

I think you should try that first, Bmies and see how it goes, because (for example) when those LED lit washer jets were popular, people around here in Austin were getting pulled over left and right for them, no matter what the color. And the Austin cops are usually not that picky about the...

I would agree with your overall assessment of the situation. White up front, probably legal, though I would check with your DOT first if you're worried about it. some states have rather strict laws concerning additional or add-on lighting. Red up front, not legal in any place I know of. It...

I don't know for sure, but I wouldn't go with a wider wheel for winter driving. Besides, the winter weather, snow, ice, road grime and salt would ruin them in short order.

I hadn't noticed that in your OP, but why would you go with WIDER wheels when switching to winter tires? Narrower and taller (tires) always work better in snow, certainly. It creates a longer, narrower tire patch as opposed to a wider one. So the tire will "cut through" the snow better rather...

5mm is only about 1/8". I believe it should fit, though I will warn that the 1st gen 6 series ('03-'08) were very picky about wheel size. There wasn't much room to budge with that car, at least w/o rolling the fender lip first. But in the case of an SUV, I would make the educated guess that 5mm...

Frankly, it looks OK, but a better picture would help. That light isn't helping your black car to be seen. The pic is too dark and modeled by the streaming sunlight. A direct sun (overhead) picture, maybe from a different angle would show off the car better.

Don't be burnin' up a fresh motor, SR79... unless its all ready broken in. It's not worth it for a quick day of fun.

I'm in Manor, kinda' SE Austin area... a few hours from Waco.

As long as the bolt circle/pattern and offsets are correct. 5x114.3mm (4.5") and any offset from +50mm down to +42mm should fit.

While not on an Cosmo, we've been running the Continental DWS series tires on our cars for over two years now and I can tell you that overall, they are GREAT!! They offer excellent dry and wet grip. I even made it to work in the snow last year and that's a first for my Mazda. They grip so well...

Changes (edit: Chances) are not that good you have TPMS on an '05, but if you did the dash light would come on with the key and stay on for a few second. If that doesn't work, lower the pressure in one tire below the normal threshold of the TPMS reading... 20-25psi should do it. Yes, the keys...

1) That's a question we all had/have. Why go with a cartridge on one engine and a spin-on on the other, though there are a lot more 3i's (2.0L) around than HB's. 2) WIX filters are the best and have been for years. There are other comparable filters, but they have a steel relief valve (vs. tin...

That's the one, and the price is fair too. It's about what I paid for mine 3 yrs ago. It's an easy if not messy conversion. After disconnecting the oil pressure switch also located on the housing, simply undo the three bolts that hold the adapter to the block and remove. It uses a metal gasket...

EBC Green Stuff pads and gray wheels. 'Works like a charm!

eBay. Check out my sig pic. These are complete cover replacements and require wiring for the LEDs...

Yeah, somewhere in the South Atlantic ocean off the Gulf of Guinea? 'Guess they are SPAMMING from aboard ship now??

Nope. You're right! I don't know why it is, but it is much, MUCH easier to find sedan parts than HB. And HB parts are 2-3 x's as much too!! You are not liable to find the bumper cover or headlights. You might have the best luck finding a hood though. Do an eBay search, or look used.

My H&R's took a while to show their true drop. I too was initially disappointed, but after a week or so I noticed that I was having to go lower and lower to get in the car. My current sig pic was taken the day after. The car actually sits lower than that now.
