Stereo question: Will a 2005 Bose unit work with a 2004 finisher plate?

 

19x8.5 +35 wrapped in 255/40 Pirellis. I had a 25mm spacer on and decided to give it a try knowing it would rub even though my fenders are rolled. It did and I removed them to save my tires. Question If I ran a tad bit of negative camber, would it work? Because honestly, it looked absolutely incredible. It wasn't sticking out or anything stupid like that; it was perhaps the flushest of all flushity flushness. Please advise.

 

I would start by going with a 35 profile on the tire.

 

^ That.

Alternatively, you can just put a 20mm spacer instead of a 25 and see if it clears.

 

Thank you gentlemen. I won't be changing the tire since these are $1100 Pirellis. Here are pics of how it looked.

 

Looks nice and beefy. But it does look like it will cut up your fender + tire. Add some camber or shove a 20mm.

 

I'd go smaller spacer to save tires from uneven wear..

 

You should reeeeeally try to research how your tire responds to neg camber. I had Hankook tires that the inside wore like crazy, but the Nitto NeoGens I have now, have been golden, and my camber is actually worse now.

 

Lol if you did your research then you failed to mention that neogens were designed specifically for negative cambered vehicles to have even wear on tires...

 

simple answer is no.

 

I knew when I bought the Hankook tires that Nitto advertised the NeoGens as built for neg camber, but I wasn't sure how much of that was real, and how much was just trying to sell tires. The Hankooks were highly recommend... Turned out that was more hype, and now that I'm on Nittos, they actually are as good as they claim.
Before a purchase, it's hard to sort hype and propaganda from real facts. After actually owning different tires on the same vehicle, it's a lot easier

 

Ok so random light help... I bought a fancy pants set of led interior lights. And they worked great for a while and were super bright but as of late they have been working some of the time and not turn on at all no matter what! It's super annoying.
So the question is would I be able to get them working again with a light sanding to help them get a better contact? Or should I just go back to the original style bulbs and trash these??

 

LEDs are pretty cheap right?

Just replace them.

 

The LEDs themselves can last a very long time, but the supporting parts on that bulb replacement may burn out. Where did you order them from, and why would you think there is something wrong with the contact points? IMHO, just order new ones. I would look for a different store. I usually get all of my LEDs from vleds.com

 

I want to change all lights on dash white! I know you can on the cluster. But what about all the way down the center dash!? I'm just really tired of the orange color. I just want to know if this is possible and how much it would cost??
