To be quite honest, i've never changed a tire in my life. I have an 89' TII and I have some 3rd gen rims with toyo proxies on them to replace the stock wheels. I am getting the proper spacers and all, but i'm just wondering if theres anything basically other than unscrewing the bolts, switching the tires, then bolting them back in that I should be doing. Do I need be doing this with an air impact gun, or will just hand tightening it do fine?

 

Just use the lug wrench. Get the nuts loose BEFORE jacking the car up. Don't use an air wrench. You'll never get them back off again without one. Just give a good tightening with the lug wrench.

 

You are supposed to drive on them and then tighten the lugnuts again.

 

What kind of spacers are you getting?

If they are hubcentric (ie the H&R ones) then you are ok. But like 150FC said, take the wheels off after 50 miles, and retighen the spacers.

If you are getting the junky pepboys metal shim spacer...well...DO NOT use those. Thos spacers will not leave you enough thread on the stock lenght stud to properly tighten down the lug nut. (I think you need like 6 full turns at the very least.)

 

Where are you getting the spacers. I've been looking to find a part # of the H&R but no one hase responed yet or I can't find anything on the search.

All I have to work with is

I need a 5 lug 114.3 center bore 59.5 ???? 25mm

I'm not sure if this is correct but no one seems to know exactly what they used when they put a FD wheel on a FC.
