thanks


O and since im posting might as well ask this. I want to install and EGT gauge... for the probe i was wondering if i should put it in the downpipe near the O2 sensor or should i put it closer to the exhaust manifold?

 

FWD is a marketing thing for them. find out the offset to be sure, because FWD means nothing in relation to the wheels.

and you wanna put the egt close to the manifold. search around for this and you'll find some info.

 

I hope to GOD you aren't putting those on a 7!!! Well, I guess it's your taste, do whatever but I don't like it.

 

the site doesnt even say the offset of them? i guess i gotta call the *****... and yes rims for a 7.

So what exactly does FWD and RWD mean in relation too rims?

 

aren't fwd rims usually in a smaller width range... whereas rwd rims can get up to like 11" width+ or something?

 

I believe FWD rims' spokes sink, so to speak, behind the spider, whereas RWD spokes are outward from the spider.

 

Sorry to burst your bubble, but our FC's actually do run "FWD offsets" on our wheels.

"FWD offsets" typically imply very high offset numbers.
Stock Turbo II wheel offsets 16" x 7", +40mm.

"RWD offsets" typically imply lower offset numbers.
