It's only like 15mm further out than stock since the stock wheels are the same width on an Ecoboost PP car.
I think the +20 might work in the rear but probably not worth losing the ability to rotate tires. I wanted to run a 265/40R19 also over the stock 255's but there are hardly any choices...
I was thinking about doing the TSW Bathurst in 19x9 +30 all around, i guess on stock tires with some drop springs. They have a +20 also so i'll probably buy a pair of +30's first and see how they fit on the back. Just have to get the car first, the wait is tough.
I think you will need a bigger turbo, i'm going to stick with a Base instead of the Premium trim so i can use that $4k savings to get the Full Race setup. The Premium was nice but i don't need all the tech stuff or toggle switches. They look cool but i want to keep the weight down too.
Here are a couple pictures of the Matte Gunmetal Nurburgrings in 18x8 on my ATS. I have some 19" Advanti's now but wanted to show SuperSnake the matte gunmetal finish, its really nice and seems to resist dust because i rarely had to clean them.
Thanks David, i appreciate the information and its good to know it wasn't increased by some arbitrary number.
The reviews on the website are very good also, can't wait to see what else you guys have coming for the EB cars.
I would be interested in a similar drop and would like for somebody to dyno the stock shocks to determine what spring rate is best. Adding a set percentage to the stock rate isn't the best way to do it for performance, ride quality, and longevity.
About 95% sure that's what i will get. If i get the Guard i will get the silver with mirror cut face. My other choice is Ingot Silver and would get the gloss gunmetal in that case.
20x9 +30 for the front, 15mm further out than stock GT PP wheels. Might get the +20 for the rear and keep the...
To SuperSnake:
They have a 20x10 +40 which would be great for the rear. I'm not sure if they would fit up front or not but they have a 20x8.5 +20 or +40 for the front.
I used to have the Nurburgrings in matte gunmetal and they look better than the mirror cut face in my opinion. You can PM...
You are certainly quick to judge, the dealership i currently work for doesn't mark up any cars above MSRP. I just said i had seen it in the past and rarely at that. We are one of the few GTR certified dealers in our area and they are never marked up for market adjustment nor are any Nismo...
Not sure if its compatible but i read somewhere on the forum that it doesn't have enough capacity to handle the fueling needs of e85.
edit: lets not turn this in to an E85 thread please.
This is a very important question, i would like to know where the 25% number came from and if any shock dyno's were done to determine it or if they just decided to take the stock and add 25% which may be "fine" but is definitely not the ideal way to come up with rates for lowering springs if you...
I was thinking there wouldn't be much left in the stock turbo after seeing it today in person. It's tiny and the cat below it is huge but i was impressed with the car even with the 3.15 rear and 20" wheels.
One of my coworkers just got an EFR turbo and manifold from you guys for his S2000...
I plan to get the PP wheels repainted(powdercoated) to a gunmetal or hyperblack finish and use them for winter. Get some 20's like the TSW Bathurst or Portier for summers.
Other possibility is sell the PP wheels and get the Bathurst's in 19" and put some mild lowering springs on it. The 20's...
I have a couple examples of cars that are being sold over MSRP that are used, look at the BMW 135i M that is selling over MSRP used and the Ford GT prices just keep going up. Should dealers or individuals be forced to sell them under MSRP because it's used? Of course not.
I have been working in...
Definitely think the PP will give it the extra bump it needs, for a while anyways and then the tune and bolt on's would come down the road.
While i was really set on getting the GTI there is just no comparison when it comes to looks. I prefer the VW interior and practicality but for the...
No way to know for sure, sales guys aren't nearly as concerned with performance options as we are. They would probably rather have a sunroof :crazy:
Your enjoyment will be worth it so go for it!
