AWSpoofwil Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Okay cool, so then a 16x9 would be perfect for what I want... Quote Link to comment
sedition88 Posted February 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 What wheels are you going with? Quote Link to comment
sedition88 Posted February 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Damn carrier bearing is also making noise like a mother fucker, mostly at lower RPMs. They're spendy little bastards Quote Link to comment
sedition88 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Did pick up that bearing, so I'll be doing that the next nice day I have the time. 1 Quote Link to comment
AWSpoofwil Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 What wheels are you going with? i wanna go with diamond racing steelies (or something very similar) in 16x9s. not sure what tires yet since idk how to read the tire sizes and stuff haha Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 i wanna go with diamond racing steelies (or something very similar) in 16x9s. not sure what tires yet since idk how to read the tire sizes and stuff haha 225/70/R16 225= width of the tire in millimeters 70= is the height of the sidewall in percentage of the tire width (in this case 70% of 225 or 157.5mm) R16= is the width of the rim it fits Quote Link to comment

Tristin Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Haha also know that the sidewall height is for both above the rim and below the rim. So there is 78.75mm of tire above the rim and 78.75mm below the rim. So in the instance I gave above, that tire and rim choice would yield a total height of 22.2 inches. Quote Link to comment
AWSpoofwil Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 okay awesome! still kinda confused.. im a visual and hands on learner hahah. but all i know is that i think i want like 2 inch sidewall, so for top and bottom total 4 inches of tire.. so all together it would be like 20 inches.. to much meat?

AWSpoofwil Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 okay cool! so how much total sidewall is sedition88 runnin? or was those the specs of his wheel and tire combo..? Quote Link to comment

AWSpoofwil Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 okay.. well i want my tire to be a little smaller than the rim.. like a quater inch smaller than the 9 inch wide rim.. and like 1.5-2 inches of side wall.. so like 3-4 top and bottom sidewall total.. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Ok, well do that math and find a tire thats close. Quote Link to comment

AWSpoofwil Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 I'm running 15x8s front and rear with a 205/60 tire you runnin any offsets? 1 Quote Link to comment
sedition88 Posted March 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Like zero or +25? I'm not sure, they could be zero offset because the lip on either side look pretty even. I haven't been able to find my specific wheel at all to get the actual specs. However the wheels are the same front to back. EDIT: I did find out the offset of these wheels and they were -32 Quote Link to comment
AWSpoofwil Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 okay, just wondering Quote Link to comment
sedition88 Posted June 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 So it's been a minute sense I've updated this. The carrier bearing is not the problem, it's something in the transmission making the growling noise. I've got a 510 goon 4 speed I can install for now, but would like to get myself a 5 speed. The starter also went out again. Luckily it's got some warranty on it, so I sent it back and they're sending one to me, should have it start of next week. I still have some wheel gap up front and room on my torsion bars, so I'll be lowering it a tad bit more before the IR208 show in Boise in August. Quote Link to comment
Slixon Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 the whole rear bumper thing depends on the cop, I was never hassled by cops for my 75. But my friend in a lifted toyota with custom bumpers and rock sliders got a ticket for no rear bumper. Went to the CHP station and they looked and signed off. Whatever. Quote Link to comment
