What have you done to your MSP today?

[Laser Blue]

if its a metric bolt you prolly should use a metric wrench imo a stripped bolt is not worth the chance, especially on your block

1 & 5/32 = 1.15062 inches = 29.24 millimeters
So its over by .24 mm which equals 9/1000 of an inch (.009)

I'd risk it... lol

Yea, cant wait to get them. I was thinking about painting them gunmetallic. Or keep them primed. See how they look on my car. As for tires im leaning torward star specs. But ill have to go 225/50 tho. (spin)

thats damn near dead on stock diameter...

All i need is spacers for the front for the fd wheels right?

I've been told that you have to run a small spacer to get em on the hub, but I put one on the back of my car, and the hubcentric matched up perfect, and the spec IS the same on paper.

I believe a small spacer is needed to clear the wheels weights on the front, clearances are obviously tight. hopefully I'll have first hand experience in a few more weeks (I've been saying that for too long).. lol

^^i c. I got 5mm spacers already. Was wondering if the rear needed them. Ill see when i get them. Yea, get those wheels on already wagon.

Talk to fatti03msp. I rode in his spicy that had FD's with a 245 tire. He had BC coils and he had no rubbing or anything with rolled fenders. He'll know what to do.

I don't think he claimed no rubbing with that tire size...

^^245? Man! (boom06)

I'd love to get that much tire under the car, but I don't think you can do it with no rubbing unless you do a massive tire pull, JUST the right offset, and likely coilovers so you can set the camber just right, and probably have more inner clearance than an OEM style strut.

 

[fishdonotbounce]

If you read the post, I said he has BC coils. I saw the car in person. I inspected it. I rode in it. No rubbing, 245. No question about it.

u mean fender pull? I kinda think thats overkill. 225 or 235 should be good imo. But i would love to see a pic of those.

I did. maybe it was the bigger tires he was planning on that were going to rub. honestly i don't remember for sure.

yeah, fender pull. my bad. I looked, good luck finding a 235 tire anywhere near the profile you're looking for. they don't exist.

 

[fishdonotbounce]

Let me see if I can find a pic from the BBQ meet last year that shows them well....

i was busy putting in my trunk cage. I've been alright besides the saga of my hood and work sucking.

Need to install my front sway bar bracket but couldn't get to it today because of rain.

 

[fishdonotbounce]

That's cool man. I heard you have a bunch of parts just waiting to be installed. I'll be in Maryland all summer but we gotta meet up one time before I go. I'm probably going back up to Phen's and Evan's one of these last weekends to install my BC's and to port and polish my intake mani.

But I couldn't find very good pics at all of the tire. Maybe fatti has them.

well I definitely stand corrected on the "no rubbing". still highly doubt it can be done without coilovers. I wonder what his alignment specs were.

 

[fishdonotbounce]

Can't be done without coilovers for sure.
