Stumpy,

I am lovin your bronze heliums. Nice choice!

 

Stumpy, im feelin the rims too. why are you calipers so rusty?

 

thanks
hahaha i know its rusty, god only knows. I wish i can prevent it but ahhh. I think its from working near the beach,
Salt water=enemy. I dunno im changing them when i need new pads

BTW does anyone know of a place where i can get black tuner lugs and locks, A couple of my Mac Gaurds fell off due to mitsu tech guys stupidity. And im not willing to pay like 75 bucks again, so any help would be appreciated

 

Shouldn't ! I have the same sizes except 45 series and no rubbing w/ my Eibachs !

 

for the guy who said to get 225 because they handle better, that is wrong. The only thing that will do is make the ride smoother because the sidewall is taller. The car handles better with a wider tire. That is the compromise you make when you go to a 40 series tire. Roads in Chicago aren't the best either. I found my car rode a bit rougher when I put on my parada's but nothing too bad. It wasn't until I lowered the car that the ride became harsh when you hit bumps. But that is what happens when you decrease travel and stiffen the spring.

Those that don't have 17's check my thread in the vendor forum. I sell the MSR wheels the one dude had plus others.

 

my 17" i hope u like it

 

what? the 225 is the width, and the 40 is the sidewall! and just for the record, the second number in 225/40/18 (my setup actually... which is very smooth) is just a ratio. my friend's car on 215/35/18 has a tire that looks PUNY compared to mine. be carefull going up too much on this number... you'll start to get some pretty interesting rubbing issues (no where on my car... except my mud flaps. oy vey...)

 

looks awesome! the only tho is that ur in the same boat i am... needs a drop!
