stock wheels & stock tires

 

stock tires suck for winter, you hit any little bit of ice they spin and thats not even putting that much power on. I'm still debating on what tire and rims lol, still got time hehe

 

Guys... no I don't have a Ralliart, but I do a lot of local auto detailing. A lot of the guys in the detail section, especially FJF who has done a lot of research and worked with a lot of different waxes, sealants etc. The BEST stuff you can buy out there is called Finsh Kare 1000 ... or 10000. 250 degree sealant. 1 coat on my car lasts me for 6 or so months at least. If you don't care to switch your wheels, or if you just don't have the money... take the OE wheels or whatever wheels you have and layer this FK on the wheels. You can put as many layers on as you would like. It's good to put it on VERY thin, let it haze, wipe it off, wait 15-20 minutes and then layer it again. I have layered my car 5 times over and it gives it a nice candy coated look. Just a suggestion.

By the way, if anyone chooses to go this route, it also helps clean brake dust off a lot easier and is about 10-15.00 a can which will last a LONNNNG time as well.

 

haha Texas FOR THE WIN!!!! No snow no ice and warm *** shorts weather all year round (for the most part)!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Warm ***-shorts??

 

Anyone run in to wheel fitment issues? I'm looking for tires/rims for a 2010 ralliart. I assume I can throw 16's on fine from the posts I've been reading? no spacers needed or anything and hubcentric? is it 16 5x100 ?

 

i picture something like you'd see at hooters, except fuzzier

5x114.3. and many of the 16s out there should fit, but when downsizing two sizes, if you're not sure of how the rest of the specification numbers work, you're best off test-fitting before you buy. if you're online-shopping, shop for something that fits the 2008+ lancer de/es and you'll be safe

 

Konig Tuner Black 18" for the summer. Not sure what tire I'm gong with next year. OEM tires are like slicks now.
Stock wheels with Michelin X-Ice Xi2 for winter. Should be a very fun winter.

 

If I don't put a TPMS kit in my winters/rims am I going to have an issue?

 

Only issue you will have is a big annoying display showing a tpms warning every time you start it up.

 

so im trying to find wheels and tires for winter. i live in jersey and it gets snowy up here. i have no idea what im looking for. exactly what type of 16" wheel will fit my RA?

will that fit? for 250 its a steal if it fits.

 

You need to make sure that the bolt pattern is the same. Mitsu is 5x114.3. I can't remember off the top of my head for Audi but I think it is 5x120 but I could be wrong. The other thing you'll need to take into consideration is the CenterBore size. Mitsu is 67.1mm. Not sure what Audi is.

If everything does fit, it IS a steal.

 

Decided to shop domestic, and got these Nokian Hakkapeliitta R tires:

Cost me 600 € though :-F Got a nice set of EVO IV Oz F1 16x6.5" rims to match.

 

Anybody knows if 225/60/18 s will fit on our stockers? Saw a set of 4 snow tires with good thread left for $180!

 

225/60/18 would fit, but definitely throw off your speedo like CRAZY. Not to mention a weird fitment...



You're looking at 3+ inch of additional tire on the stockers. . I don't think it'll work out too well...
