IIRC the LNE magnetic drag plugs are pretty flush.

Fresh set of Cup2 245/35 & 315/30. The outgoing set were 5-6 years old and hard as rocks. The new ones ride amazingly well in comparison and also seem to have been updated with some rim protection. Also removed the 10mm spacers in the rear which resulted in a little bit of poke which I don't care for. Very happy with the change, though I was worried about rubbing with the 12" wide wheels on my narrow body. They're fine.

As long as the offsets are right, 12" wheels fit NB cars just fine. The OEM GT3 wheels are 12" at the rear and I run 12" rears on mine too with 255/325 tires.

Yeah I wasn't worried they wouldn't fit; I was worried they might have some issues inside without spacers. So far so good!

Post winter hibernation:
Wheel balancing
Oil change with Driven DI-40
Brake fluid change with Pentosin
Installed Numeric shifter- @USMC_DS1 thanks for the great write up
Drove it to empty tank which had Sta-Bil and filled up - didn’t get a chance to wash her as thunderstorms were coming

How long start to finish did the Numeric install take? Can you post a link to the write up?

Thanks

About 3 hours with some breaks. I struggled with putting the shift **** back but finally got it with some elbow grease. Also, disassembling the center console was a bit different than .1; pelican has a good write up for it.

finished my full leather/alacantara interior upgrade from an interior that was 100% plastic. learned a lot along the way and made a ton of mistakes but got lots of great advice from experts who were more than willing to share their wisdom.

upper dash is leather and lower dash and console alacantara. green stripe on steering wheel matches acid green calipers.
