Matt, the 10mm should work fine for you. You might be ok with even a 5mm spacer also.

The rears would need atleast a 10mm spacer to sit good, should be no problem if you have longer wheel studs.

 

hmm, I always thought the rear would fit fine with a 255 tire (at least, that's what RETed said)

Edit, sorry that first post is backwords

17x8 +45 / 17x9 +38, even worse huh

 

oh, in that case, your rear should be fine, but if you want the wheel more flush, go ahead and use a 5mm spacer.

For the fronts, a 10mm or 15mm spacer will work.

 

I'm w/ Macz on this one.

 

15mm would almost require fender rolling huh?

 

Yeah, almost. Rubbing shouldn't be a problem unless your car is really low. Even then, a slight roll will suffice.

 

Brand new Tanabe GF210's (1.5" drop). Looks stock to me.

 

Believe me in that theres a huge difference between a 1.5 inch drop and a stock ride height. With stock springs, our FCs look like 4x4s.

 

yes..... yes it does.

 

Hey Ryan, if you are going to sell those rims I might know of someone who would be interested in them. They look pretty good the way they are

 

Ok, so I gotta get an 87 T2 harness lol? Thanks

 

Go karting was a blasty blast guys!! had a great time!!!!

 

Hey guys, do you think my front tires are still ok to daily drive?










I have no idea how they balded that quickly in the past few weeks. My rear tires still have an "ok" amount of tread, and I had rotated the two tires a month ago when all four tires had the same amount of tread. I also just got the darn car aligned! No worries, I'm getting all new tires on Tuesday, so I'll drive my brother's car until then.

 

Were you driving on those last night!?!?!?

 

hey renton,i dont know you by name,but i wondering if you can help me diagnose a problem that im having with my 7

 

Yep! That explains why even at 50mph in the rain my car was hydroplaning. Zero tread.

 

or any of you rx gurus here can help that will be awesome,thanks

 

I'm no guru, but whats up?

Also my names Matt lol

 

you need an alignment... your camber is off... and it looks like you were running your tire on the right slightly overinflated.. as seen by the tread on both sides but bald in the middle...when you get new tires get it re-aligned

and if you were serious about whether you can drive on them..id say absolutely not....they are on the verge of seperation... and when they seperate.. tire tread flings all over you fenders and causes major damage sometimes

 

i know you by car,but not by name,sorry.i let my little brother drive my 7 while im in the hospital and the add coolant light came on. so he added some coolant and it was still on. so he turned it off and let to cool down for a while.then he tried to turn it on after like 20 min and it took a few cranks to turn on.then he inspected the car and heater hose blew. (the one that goes from the firewall to the engine block).
now he cut the same hose and re-connected it and filled it up with coolant and its still takes a few cranks to start,and when it cranks it blows like white smoke outta the exhaust. him and my older brother got it to start and it when it did it kept on blowing white smoke and the temp gauge was at normal,after like 5 min he said the temp gauge started climb to H on the gauge.after that th car has not been touched,any idea on what it could be? thanks in advance matt

 

Sounds like a coolant seal to me, time for a rebuild.

Basically your getting coolant in the motor and its burning it up (making a white smoke). That probably why its hard to start too, your motor is full of coolant.

Does the smoke smell kind a sweet?

 

I've had a billion coolant leeks (including the heater hose). But never an internal leak, atleast not yet.

Edit: Jason, did we drive the canyons on those things?!

 

wow.....a rebuild? that soon? well,any recommedations where to take it? i was thinking a s5 turbo II swap

 

Lucky 7, no doubt.

Very cool guys, good price, awesome quality.

DKwashereXD and TheAbsence (jason) both got their rebuilds there and the shop owners are very well known on this forum

how many miles on your motor?

 

Do any of you guys have a BIG hard drive I can borrow/ buy/ have? I seriously think mine is about to crash and I don't want to lose all my stuff.
