POS VETT

Have you tried Tarminator ?

Silver CTS-V is so overrated.

Mr. Kim ! How have you been ?

Cordell - if you didn't have a ride to go to CC&C tomorrow, let me know.

Haters not gonna love ...

You don't say !

Derek is with Tire Discounter.

'7 or '8 only Z33 for the HR engine, but $16k is a bit low; can you bump it to $18k ?

One cool vehicle.

I'm signed up !

Guys, please do not pick on the pussy-whipped husband; instead pity on his poor soul.

Clay - thank you for keeping CR challenging by providing a "moving target".

So, you're concerned about snow traction with an 80-hp RWD in OH. Did the possibility of a winter tire set ever cross your mind ?

Let her have it and support her. You got a very rare gem.

Sorry, no boat.

How about my Caddy ?

It amazes me that something as simple as soapy water can kill insects like that. I tried it on wasps and it worked.

You guys need a concrete driveway; that way you guys can practice **THE** golden CR pearl of wisdom that new brake pads need to be rubbed on concrete before installation. It doesn't work on an asphalt driveway.

Do the pins slide on rubber bushings ?

I want my 2 clicks back.

Makes me want to buy a Subaru

If you could gather all the information (widths, offsets, centerbores, diameters) numbers can be calculated. If you had access to the winter wheel, take a picture of the back of it. Another cost-effective alternative is to find a used, good wheel set that fit your car and transfer the tires. Sell the old winter wheels to offset your cost. Are you trying to use Focus/Contour wheels on a Mazda3 ?

That looks very clean ! Erik - TMFI.

Wheel width & offset aspect - consider the offsets and widths of your car wheel and the wheel you try to fit. The differences in them will have to be factored in along with the adapter thickness. Stud clearance aspect - the stud length and the adapter thickness determine protrusion of the stud over the surface of the adapter, i.e. if the stud is 1.5" long and the adapter is 1.25" thick, the stud will protrude 0.25". If such case existed, the mounting pad of the wheel must have deep enough pocket to accommodate the stud protrusion. Brake clearance aspect - this is probably self explanatory. Consider both radial and lateral clearances. Cost effectiveness aspect - adapters are not exactly cheap. Finding a properly-sized set of wheels are not difficult nowadays. Unless you are hell bent on fitting something like a set of Ferrari wheels on a VW, the adapters are likely to be cost ineffective. All those said, I've considered fitting a set of Corvette wheels onto my Boss 302, made the Status Grinder on the Solstice to have dual PCD so they can fit the PCD of the Z06 & CTS-V also looked at Saab, Saturn, Malibu, Catera whels for Solstice winter set, tried to run effectively-zero offset on the 350Z, used 300ZX, RX7, GS300, & other wheels on my previous DSM, and basically played with numerous fitting scenarios with all my cars.

There are a lot more things to consider to make this combo to work.
