QUOTE(serius seller @ Apr 14 2013, 04:01 AM) I would not use 205/45 cause it's too thin already so the comfort is almost gone IMHO. More over the total diameter becomes too small compared to your std tire.205/50 is still ok, but I'd rather go with 205/55 as I mentioned above. |

Sorry, i miss understand your 1st statement. I thought you said 205/55 cause (causing) thicker sidewall.205/50 is still ok, but I'd rather go with 205/55 as I mentioned above. Yup, I think I'm going to get 205/55. Btw in January 2013 I just bought a new OEM spring and absorber for front and rear. And till now my rear kinda looks weird because its hanging like almost 5 fingers gap. But actually its getting better because after the installation, its like 1 1/4 foot gaps. Now is decreasing to 5 fingers gap. I can accept that with my stock rims, but with a brands sport rim I think it looks kinda of ugly. If I go for sport spring but not to change my stock absorber, I heard this will cause bumpy on uneven roads. Is this true? This post has been edited by serius seller: Apr 14 2013, 04:14 PM |

In that case.. when looking at a rim or set of rims how do we find out if the rim has been reshaped ?

That's though, especially if the touch-up work is very good. Unless you have the specs of the original rim & walk around with a caliper, you might have trouble spotting them off the shelf. Reshaped rims usually have some metal skimmed off so the dimensions will vary slightly. Other than that, you'll have to scrutinize it for tell-tale signs of rework. |

Depends on how stiff the spring rate of the sport springs. If not that much stiffer, than can still use std absorbers. Like now I'm using Tanabe NF springs but still with stock absorbers, still very comfortable because the NF is only about 15% stiffer and designed to still be compatible with std absorbers.Yup, I think I'm going to get 205/55.

I paid about rm1.1k including installation.And how many finger gaps left on your car when you use Tanabe NF with std absorber? |
