Mitcubishievo: Winter set up installed...

[Mitchubishievo]

Yes, this is my winter set up. Many people would say I'm pretty nutty for having Evo X Enkies for winter, but c'mon, if you know me, you know all I do is whore nice wheels/tires. It's become my trademark :lol:.

Specs on the wheels/tires:
OEM Evo X Enkeis 18x8.5 +38 offset
235/40R18 Bridgestone Blizzak LM 25's


On to the eye candy...

i love your car

 

[sickmint79]

i wouldn't run spacers unless you needed them

i goes for uber good snows pwnage in winter

went to mount my winter tires sunday and it looks like my brother threw the lug nuts away. ordered some new ones yesterday $85 for mcgard blue yech.

 

[Mitchubishievo]

See you wouldn't, but I'm a nut. I'm also thinking I'll get some rally flaps to save the paint on my doors.

 

[sickmint79]

well you should get expensive spacers and thin ones. else they can just add to problems... additional weight and they may loosen up (removes coining effect) or cause extra stress and bust off studs or something, especially if you are going to be putting stress on the wheels.

i forgot what size spacers i had, but i had turner motorsports wheel studs on my e36 m3 and i think h&r wheel spacers, to fit OEM wheels over the big brembos we put on. same fitment as 8-series so they were oem brembos off an 850. i'm anal about torque wrenches, never had a problem, had them on less than a year though. guy i sold the car to eventually had 4 studs break on one of the front tires. i'm done ever running spacers.

Absolutely no argument there, I think I am sick.

Don't the German cars have the studs on the lug nuts? People in the evo world run spacers with zero issue. We're talking 15mm on race cars that have seen multiple seasons and zero problems.

yeah those were taken out to put in studs though. race car probably benefits from being constantly seen and wheels on/off and torqued? i've seen enough things to keep away myself. gl!

I rotate tires every 1,000 miles so they are off way to often haha.

 

[sickmint79]

geeeeeeez

 

[slowchevy]

well.. we know he's dedicated that's a good thing

 

[Novak94]

dam..... that evo is clean

 

[speedycoop]

i HAVE to use spacers on my car with my winter setup just in the front and i have the lug studs (lug on the nut.. the euro thing): stock wheels with blizzaks, but due to the big brake kit the wheel meets the caliper so i had 1/2in spacers made and some new lug studs made which are a 1/2in longer than oem. i have never had an issue with spacers and this will be winter #4 with this setup.

 

[Novak94]

^^^ sucks

Dude...you're CRaZy

i think you have a sickness

Not a bad sickness to have. Get down with that sickness.

woops i though he was gonna have to change his rims out too for some reason.....

 

[slowchevy]

[Bob Kazamakis]

Rally cars = FTMFW!!!

 

[slowchevy]

be too afraid someone else would fuck it up.

 

[Stink Star]

i never understood why people freak out about "nice wheels" in the winter... just keep your car decently clean and make sure to wax the wheels inside and out before you put them on and they will look brand new forever. the only wheels that you really shouldnt run in the winter are chrome wheels because the chrome tends to peel off, but in my opnion chrome wheels arent nice anyway so fuck it, who cares? chrome wheels have no place on a performance car

 

[RebelGTP]

That reminds me... I need to go looking for a set of steelies...

or, once I sell the Intrepid, actually buy that '98 SE roller... supposedly has decent tires on the stockers still...

you wouldn't drive an sti or evo in the winter? c'mon dude. if you have one of these cars you are supposed to drive down the highway sideways. and just drive off the road and around traffic. i've never done this but i'm not letting another winter go by without trying it either. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neYOLNyZuz0
