chris...i you were asking about MB wheels...

heres the DT link.

Get 17x9's for autoX.

http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/fil...cst=*&x=61&y=6

17x9 weapon and competitions +17 offset:

other 18x9.5 +15 offset

18x9.5 +15 Battles:


For autoX i use 275 wide R comp tires....so i use 17x9 +27 weapons up front and 17x9+17 weapons in rear.

For street I switch it and put 20mm spacer in rear.
so i use 245/45/17 tires all around and use
front 17x9 +17
rear 17x9 +27 with a 20mm spacer and make +7

MB COMPETITIONS - Room for longer studs:
Also, take a good look at the pic below - those are MB Competitions.

If you notice, they have holes for longer studs in between the lug nut mounting holes if you need, thus those wheels can get mounted with out you having to remove your spacers.

R comps -

check Clist and if not you can also get them from http://www.jbracingtires.net/


I purchased my HANKOOK VENTUS C50's from John Berget - take off's with tons of track time still on them. I got them SHIPPED to my door for $280

So i highly recommend John Berget - he is a great guy with great customer service and he kept me in mind when he found what i wanted and called me up when he had some available.......I consider his business top notch so far in my dealings with him.

When you have a very important install - you gotta have the right tools and a means to haul them to the destination...

12 ton press in the Z

Why would my brakes only squeak when I use the brakes when I'm reversing out? Does not make any noise braking while moving forward.

We have this issue on the FX's all the time I think. I get it backing out into my alley. I know I've heard of it as a common issue that can't be fixed really. Not sure about Z's though.

That was something that some of the members used to do back in the day. Of course, the wiper is disabled so you don't accidentally turn it on and wipe your wing off.
