if your runnin slip ons like that just make sure your lug nuts are toqued to spec

 

I've been running 8mm's on the rears for along time...no problems at all.

 

I'm gonna run 8mm's in the rear soon too I think.

 

do they make 10's as a slip on?

 

Most of them come with replacement extended studs, off hand Ichiba does.

Now just the spacers alone I've seen these...

Are there cheaper spacers, or is that just the cost?

eBayyyyyyyyyy

 

^^x2

 

Is anyone here stretching Falken 512's? The shop couldn't get my 225/40 on my 9.5" wheel. Using a cheetah. I've read around that the 512's stretch great. WTF?

 

must have been fools trying to do the job ^ lol

 

Thats not even that big of a stretch...go to a different shop. They clearly have no clue what they are doing.

 

Autoglitz. As far as I know it's a pretty reputable shop in south Florida. Two different techs were trying.

Yeah, Socal, the guy even said that when I showed up, like he was a pro. "Oh 225? That's nothing."

 

here is a couple decent shots, still workin on fitment.

 

The shop that I go to puts a piece of cardboard down on the ground, sets the wheel down. Then attaches the air to the valve stem...blast it with the cheeta, then like magic the bead is set lol. That's with a 215 on a 10, they also did a 215 on a 9.5 like nothing for me.

 

Yeah I mentioned you're specs to him. He says it's because of the 512's sidewall. It's too strong. But for some reason everyone seems to praise the 512s for stretch

Mmmmpsh. Looks fanastic with the white on SBC, btw.

 

thanks man

 

mmmpshh, any full car shots?
i always wondered what my RPF1's wouldve looked like on my tC.
Guess now ill finally know.

 

gotta wait till I get the bumper back tomorrow then I'll take some real piks
