Yeah, I picked up the car in May so I just wanted have a check up on it and see if my set up works. I used GTX + Purolator Pure One. I just switched to Syntec to see if it's any better.

What do you think about them saying I could wait up to a year? That makes me a bit uneasy to wait that long. Maybe I'm just brainwashed that I have to change it every few months.

^ thanks


so heres a random little question, Rear mount turbo, i can get it done for a little under 2k with new parts and labor. i'll buy a unichip and get tuned for free from a friend (one of the best tuners in the country).

expected HP gains 100whp minimum, worth it?

 

I deleted my other post and thought id try it in here.

I just ordered new wheels, they are 19x9 +35 in front and 19x10 +45 rear. My question is what tire size do you all recommend? I have spend the better part of this past week searching, reading and looking at various set-ups on here and I am not sure what size to go with.
My current set-up is 19x8 +25 w/225/40/19 F and 19x9.5 +40 w/255/35/19 R. I like how the rear tires (BFG's) fit on the 9.5" rim. It tapers in, but is not stretched. I posted here instead of the Wheel/tire forum because 90% of the posts pertain to coupe's and I want advice from sedan owners such as I.

The obvious set-up is 245/35/19 F and 275/35/19 R but my concern is that the rear tires are about 3/4 of an inch taller (26.5R vs 25.7F). For a sedan have any issues been seen when running a larger rear tire? I know the coupes run up to 2.5% difference from the factory. I have been playing with sizes and came up with a 235/40/19F with a 275/35/19R...would that create too much of a stretch on a 9" rim and look funny with the rear not so stretched? They are almost the same diameter.

Last question. What if I took my current 255/35's and put them on the front 9" rims? Would that create a bulging tire compared to the rears?

Any advice is welcomed....pics of similar set-ups would be awesome. I have clicked on page after page after page and I am still in limbo.

 

Question about spacers, I am running 20x8.5 w/40 offset on 245/35/20 on all four corners and dropped on Eibach Pro springs. I am considering spacers to bring the wheels out just a tad. My questions are: Will this require a fender roll? What size spacer to use? And will I need extended lugs? Thanks in advance.

 

I think with a 10-15m spacer you shouldnt need to roll the fenders.
In comparison I ran a 19x9.5 255/35 rear + 40 offset with no problems and 225/40 on a 19x8 +40 mm offset ( then added a 15mm spacer to make it more flush so esentially a 25mm offset). How low do the springs drop you?

 

Had to quote interested in answer.

 

You should get good results with syntec, probably a bit less sheer.

You could wait up to a year, it just depends what oil filter you use

Many people do Year OCI's, as long as your not getting contamination or coolant and the filter is working, you should have no issues running for a year.

But its up to you, There can only be problems if you wait too long.

 

Yeah I mean, Castrol GTX is pretty cheap plus the purolator pure one is cheap as well. So about $20-25 insurance is worth it to me. Maybe I'll up to 4 months but I'll play it by ear.


New question: Anyone have any recommendations for a portable jack (to store in the trunk) to change tires? I've heard a few horror stories about the factory jack collapsing when changing a spare.

 

You can buy another scissor jack that has a higher capacity?

I dont know what else you could buy that would be light and portable and fit under the car

 

I'll have to look for a better quality one. When using those, do you just jack up the car via the frame rail closest to whatever tire you're changing?

 

i did a 5w30 GTX/ pure one filter. I sent in my UoA at about 4k, they told me i could try to aim for 6k, but i think i'm going keep them at 5k

 

I Use the factory jack locations

This distance is based on your driving so it might not he the same for everyone

 

Theres almost a 2 finger gap front and rear. Did you need to buy extended lugs with your spacers?

 

Would OEM shocks from a RWD fit on the AWD? Non-sport.

 

Happened to me. Luckily wheels were still on the car since I had just got done putting them on. It's a lil on the expensive side but most people can get it under their car that has been lowered quite a bit.

I've bought one from walmart before, some $20 one, but eventually it started messing up. The harbor freight one isn't that heavy. The handle is a two piece one and comes off. I've seen this fit in a coupe with ease.
