ok, Greg works there, Ill ask if we can get like free parking or something. Was that for the muse concert?

Yup. see what you can do. He doesent really work there though so I don't think he has any clout though. I think I will and up doing 10mm spacers all around and 75mm studkit all around.

That's a skid plate ;)

hahaha your totally right.

I would do 10mm - 12mm for the rears for sure. Something comparable for the front. When I was running 'em my pulled fenders and late rear arches made the 8's fit nicely with the 16x9 rear.

Early arches are super nice, but man, a whole different spacer ball game.

Ya i may be able to go bigger but the problem is with the studkit. If i do any bigger than 10 i cant use a 75MM studkit but if i get a longer kit the caps wont fit. I hate using long lugs because I switch around wheels a lot and its a PITA. My fenders arnt pulled though just rolled in the back. I will probably roll the fronts when i get the spacers though. I tested the clearance of the RX-7 BBK on the kopis today and its going to be very close. Like a MM or two.

Stud kits are the business.

Stud kits are the business.

Yeah they are. If you're inbetween wheels frequently it saves so much time and hassel.

my style 5s weigh around 28lbs i think. so its physically easier to

I had no idea they weighed that much.

[Matt-B]

oh yea. lol difficult as hell without studs :(

[Wishno87]

Thats with the wheel and the tire. The wheel its self was in the 18-22 range. Still on the heavier side though

Did a little work to the calipers for some extra clearance. I mocked the caliper up the the strut with a kopi on and without spacers the little nub on the face of the caliper literally fits between two spokes. I usually run 5+mm spacers in the front with those wheels and with the nub ground down a little but it shouldn't be a problem.



Dad was moving cars around in the shop so i have a new stablemate for now

The fronts are 16x7.5 and tears are 16x9 215/40 all around. Better pics in my members rides thread.

Haven't updated in a while. Got the rotors yesterday. The people who made the rotors i bought a few years ago also make a corrado rotor so i was able to get a set to match my rear rotors.



Still no spacers yet :(

Matt. T is right next to R. Don't even try to act like you caught me. Your posts have such bad English I have to decipher them rather than read them ;) You still coming saturday to throw down?
