Pretty square fitment on 19x12,,,wheel doesn’t appear to be bent; I’ll balance it in the morning & get Official weight of the wheel-as tire’s are 32#

Just put the rim on the balancer. Use a dial indicator to check the rim. Rotate the rim by hand to see your high and low spots.

This wheel/tire combo is way more wider than the widest police setup & with 8” backspacing; I gotta really space it out on machine.....I gotta look around for the proper adapter to push it out before spinning it up.
I did use a couple cones to test wheel before installing tire...didn’t use dial indicator because balancing machine has been Cowboy’d up & shaft isn’t perfectly true.
I’ll spend more time tomorrow with it & chuck it up tight.

I’ll take one of my 10’s off the front w/285’s & do a comparison,,,as they weren’t in the crash & were very smooth....I’ll be able to tell if wheel is Fubar or not.

As for the tune. I got the ok from Seb to do a WOT pull. The car has officially scared me. My god did it haul. And I didn't even get to 5th gear.

Leingod · 05-14-2018, 07:35 PM

Ordered those Firestone Indy 500 tires. 245/45/18F and 275/40/18R. Hopefully the bubble effect isn't to bad.

Leingod · 05-14-2018, 08:07 PM

Giving Chase until tomorrow. Otherwise will have to file a claim with paypal.... I'll end up ordering the spoiler direct from powertrix and just waiting.

madwi · 05-14-2018, 08:13 PM

Got some good sleep today. I tried to stay up all night but I passed out around 2 am with xbox controller in hand. Woke up for about 15 minutes and told myself I needed to get back on my normal schedule and stay up until 10am but I fell asleep again.

Total sleep was around 11 hours. I was sore and wiped out, glad I have an office job

Leingod · 05-14-2018, 08:39 PM

Yea... not looking forward to work tomorrow. Going to be ugly...
