Post by: DCEPTCN on May 22 2006, 06:27:06 PM: I went home for lunch and the delivery guy just showed up. It was cool, 'cause he *kinda* new about GNs. He asked, "Are these goin' on that Buick?" I said "yeah", he goes "Is this one of the supercharged and intercooled ones?" I corrected him, but he seemed to be genuinely interested, so he's cool in my book.

Yeah....I need to get two more fronts so that I can quit running spacers up front. Spacers are such a headache- I had to replace a rotor on Sunday which is only the latest problem with those damn things.

I had a customer bring in a set of ET streets today for new valve stems.
He still had rubber stems, and the track requires metal ones.

How did the spacers damage the rotor ?

Well, there had been a couple of times that I had lug studs actually get sheared off. Pretty scary, one time I got home and saw that I had only one lug holding my wheel on. The way I remedied that was by taking a hammer to the tire iron and getting those SOBs tight as a mf'er. No problems with breaking lugs since. *BUT*, since they're on there so tight I had a lug nut turn the stud and strip out the hole in the rotor. Fortunately a new rotor at AutoZone was only $35 or so.

Post by: Top Speed on May 24 2006, 01:30:24 PM: Sounds like the wheel is not centered on the hub - bub.
Title: Re: New Shoes
Post by: DCEPTCN on May 24 2006, 01:33:06 PM: With all that spacer, I doubt it's perfect. I need two more fronts is the only solution.
Title: New Shoes
Post by: Top Speed on May 24 2006, 01:35:32 PM: I also have GTA rears in the front with a 7/16" spacer and have zero problems. How thick is your spacer? Did you put the longer studs in?

Answers damnit! Answers!

Title: New Shoes
Post by: Top Speed on May 24 2006, 03:00:43 PM: I really think two spacers is not a good idea. You should not need to go thicker than 7/16". I bought mine over the internet for like $8 ea.

Post by: Recklessrob on May 24 2006, 06:04:34 PM: 1/2" spacers, are probably more common. It looks like I'll be
putting a set on the S10. The wheels hit when I make sharp turns.

Dude, when I first put the GTAs on without spacers, I could've turned the wheel all the way to the side and done a full-on burnout without even touching the brakes.

Thanks, homeboy. I just ordered 'em. Coming from right next door in TX I wouldn't have thought they'd hook me for $10 shipping. Oh well, my long search of local Pep Boys and the like is finally over.

Not even. See, there are precious few turns in the roads around here, therefor there is no need for 28" rims.
Title: New Shoes
Post by: Racer X on May 25 2006, 01:04:06 PM: No one said anything about 28" rims, just the two fronts you have been 'looking' for.

Well, being as there ain't a BMW or Winston Cup car in my garage it should be plain to see that that this chump hasn't got the money to go buy another whole set. Nobody breaks 'em up, sadly.
