wheel enhancement will do an even trade? (this might be a stupid question)

holy ****!! Mystery solved! I just realized that the 7" are mounted on driver side and 6" are on passenger. I realized this after ricster made comment about the stems. I cant believe I never realized it. I feel stupid! To my defense its easy to fool the eye because they are on different side of car and can't look at them at the same time.

hooo boy. Never seen that before! Interesting dilemma now regarding wheel choice. A used 6" would be dirt cheap, but two 8" or 9" would not.

i juat wana see the look on the tire rack guys face when you order one set of tires for the drives side and a different size for the pasenger side ..

huh? Im just gonna swap the 7" from the front with the 6" from the rear. PPI shop last year didn't catch this either.

I have 205/55/16 in the front and 255/50/16 in the rear. I dont need different tires.

theiceman

..er..... it was a joke ....

what a waste if good humour ...

ricster

wow a ppi and they missed that??? What else did they miss? Thats a pretty easy one to spot to be honest. No it would not be an even swap..I think they will give you $600.00 for trade value and the 8's cost around 1600.00 for 2...so a $1000.00 my guess your in

I just had all my Bilstein replaced and lowered to euro spec. My wrench just called and asked me to stop by and see if i wanted it even lower before he sets the alignment.

I asked him what it's currently set at, his reply was "9 in the front, 10 in the back"

Is that too high?!

rusnak

I usually measure from the ground to the bottom of the A-arm in the front, and from the ground to the bottom of the torsion tube in the rear. It's too difficult to get consistent measurements using the fender to ground.

nikkoa

Ah! Well i guess the only way to tell is to go over there and see myself. how low is too low?

rusnak

If it hits the rubber snubbers, and your car bobs up and down like a ricer on Fast N' Furious, then it's too low or needs the front spindles raised.

ricster

I think Euro height is perfect for a street driven car. You need suspension travel...you dont want the car slammed

ok, I put the rims on the correct side of car. Were they supposed to be balanced prior to mounting, because now im getting a shimmy from steering wheel at around 60mph?

Your tires have worn based on where they were. Now to feel the ill effects.
