Yes, a mod (none of them would say whom) just kept turning off my sig with no notification. Very professional, I love being treated like a child. Apparently another shop in the Mid-A that is a sponsor complained to IB and had my sig removed.

I fully understand the business aspect behind this, but not notifying me was disrespectful IMO and the fact that the sponsor shop is worried about my one man shop that just opened amuses me as well.

Sorry for the OT Mike & Terry.

What are you talking about? When did this happen?

And after your sig was changed by a mod (which TOU states that the user may or may not be notified of such changes), you chose to put it there again?

This happened a while back - 2 or 3 months I guess. I put it back in because I wasn't sure what had happened. It was just turned off, not changed.

I contacted yobri, dave079 and USN HM 350Z. I was told a sponsor shop complained and my avatar was removed. Again, I understand the TOU, but thought that as a paying member I at least deserved a PM.

I didn't think it was a big deal since oter Mid-A members have shops in their sigs that are not sponsors either, but the response I got was to point them out so they could have their sigs removed as well. I chose to just alter my sig.

This is over now. I will not post about this again in this thread.

I am not sure when Sharif first ordered them from GTM....But Sam/George knew way in advance that I wanted them and I know that have them in stock.

I am sure GTM will chime in.

I'm pretty sure you can get a 295 on a 10.5" wheel. I can fit a 285 on my 9.5" and I think some are running 305s on the 10.5" rears.

On the rear I am running 20 x 11.5 with 305 x 25 x 20. No issues with rubbing. Fender have to be rolled though.

Thats correct.....you can run up to 305's on a 10.5 rim......BUT !!!! .....depending on offset if it will fit on the car.

You can easily fit an 11" wide wheel with a 295 or 305 tire if you have the right offset. I'm running a 19 x 11" wheel with a 305/30 tire and I think Mike is running a 20 x 11" wheel with a 305/25 tire. My rear wheel offset is +35. Not sure what offset Mike has at the rear.


Edit: ^ I see Mike beat me to it.
