Ok actually I didnt want to use my unused spare so I put on one of my old 928 rims to get me to the tire shop tomorrow.
Can anyone tell me why this on will not hold air. I drove on it for a while flat

laying wheels face down on concrete is a great way to scratch them.
those 928 wheels looks awesome - real retro

is that on the back? I tried to put a 16" clubsport on for the same reason once (to get the tire to the tire shop) and it wouldn't fit.

For the record, YOU (insert your name here) can change your IMS bearing if you know at least this much about car thingy stuff

why remember it when it is printed right on the side of the tire? When I need to know I can just go look it up
A lot of things in life are possible as long as you dont know limitations. Thus my corporation name "Know No Limits"
If he would have told me BEFORE I put it on, It certainly would not have fit. But becasue I didnt know the limits.... It went right on. lol

I've been wondering what I need to do to get my post count going?
Oh, and some serious polishing on those "sewer lids" to add that bit of Bling!
