F6 RAPID Formerly Turbo6 Donating Members 2,332 Member For: 21y 11m 22d Location: North Brisbane Posted 21/07/06 01:37 AM Share Posted 21/07/06 01:37 AM Good stuff mate.Just FYI, I have the same size wheels and have 245/30-20's on the front and 275/35-20's on the rear. The rears equate to about 3% overdriven now so it is a little taller geared and the speedo is a little out - just have to remember that when driving.

Is this pretty normal for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing that these symptoms are caused from low pressure I now run 44psi. It is very rough and I will probably buy different tyres next time. Im looking at firestone tyres and not sure if they are any good. I like the 20s though. They look the $hit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May have to fit a spacer and modify the the hub nut cap a little Edited 21/07/06 12:59 PM by stedz101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stedz101 Member 75 Member For: 20y 2m 25d Posted 22/07/06 12:01 PM Author Share Posted 22/07/06 12:01 PM ok ok here they are, I fixed the centre cap problem today.Solution: Remove the hub nut dust cap and run a super fine bead of silastic on the back edge of the centre cap and snap into place(silastic is to seal out dust)I put some plastacine on the hub bolt when test fitting cap for clearence and found there was 2mm gap (chearing)The only problem with the silastic is you have to redo it everytime you balance your rimsItwas raining today sothe car and wheels are dirty(typical black paint)And yes I know it badly needs some brakes!!!!!
