How'd u get it to stick superbrowndude?


**********************************

 

[Superbrowndude]

It's pretty easy, just clean the wheels and start coating. There is 3 coats of dip, and 2 coats of gloss. I also did the fender stripes, gas tank cover and logos to.

 

[mzoomalohahi5]

Oh u didn't do the trim? Looks nice.


**********************************

 

[Superbrowndude]

No no didn't touch the trim

Is your white dip not working on yours?

 

[mzoomalohahi5]

The dip sticks but it was super hard to keep it on.

Has anyone tried a 275/40/20? I've been shopping some wheels, but the particular model I'm looking at looks better in a 10.5 wide versus and 8.5 wide. With that width, I'd need to get a 275/40/20 to keep stock ride height close to the original.

I'm wondering about tire width and MPGs. If a tire it's wider, doesn't make the MPGs to go down?

Are you gonna have enough room? I test fit a 20x10 ET40 and it BARELY fit the rears. What specs are you looking at?

I thought it was the diameter that had a greater effect.

You can go pretty large in dia (I think someone's running around on 22s). You can always go with a lower aspect ratio. But you're pretty limited with width and offset before you start hitting suspension components.

The Veronas are on my list also. They look good on your CX-5 and makes me jealous

 

[slippin3]

Thanks guys. Nothing too fancy, just the 19x8.5" with OEM rubber.

Wow. Good luck with that. please post up if you're able to stuff that in there---unless you're going staggered? You FWD or AWD?

AWD. I know it probably won't work. I was just exploring my options because the wider wheel has a deeper concave in the spokes. I'll probably end up with something between 20x8.5 and 20x9.5.

Tell me about it. I'm In the same boat. I want deep concave or fat lip
