Was at 23psi. Will go back to 30 next time.12.3 @110mph with a 1.86 - 60ftimage.jpgalso, P100. can the ecu even adjust enough to put in the extra fueling that is required/demanded by an ethanol blend? yes, its 10%, but its something.I cant see the point in it as RON /= power. RON = knock resistance. usless, without more comp or boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm leaning towards this a bit more, but I can't rotate wheels at all if using KU31s (directional tread). Rims are also 11.5kg/11.2kgor these in more tyre rotation friendly 18x8.75 +20 all round. 9.6kg. Have seen this pattern many times before though on XR6Ts.

No wonder u been stock for so long. I'd go the top ones. Really big on the weight as well I've noticed. Although got me thinking about my wheels.... Although going back to 18's (that also clear brembos) just makes me think the wheels will look small in the arches of the FGAnd yeah, seems bead locks are a good thing if u spend a bit of time on the strip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trusting in the quality of the rims being guaranteed by the VIA certification they carry (only know what that is after reading Rota quality arguments).Yeah I read Tocchi once write that he thought 18's were perfect on B series, lucky for me. FGs are cavernous especially the ute rears.Stock rims are like 14 or 15kg so really the only way to go is up...or is that down. Aiboart mentioned that steering response is noticeably affected by rim weight, I think also load on the knuckle/bearings should be reduced which is also a win.Yeah I like the top ones too. Prefer fatter spokes to the web style even if I gain 2kg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GMAX wheels were very light compared to the factory BF 18s, from memory it was something like 16kg vs 10-11kg.From memory they were either +30 or +32 so filled the guards out nicely as well. Also very similar in design to the second picture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a grand and in stock here in WA, whereas the similar rims from XXR are out of stock and will stop me rotating them front to back.Pretty much copies of the original SSR rims I shopped first up too, just an inch wider and larger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know a good place to get it re-glued that wont charge an arm and a leg?Oh, and another rust spot has appeared on the rear quarter panel on the other side of the fuel cap.f*cking fords.
