Got my Yokohama A032R's mounted on my American Racing Wheels (LeMans series) today. They look great. Was checking my lug bolts for these wheels and I have lost one. Anyone know where I could find a few of the lug bolts that go with these wheels? They are just a 1/2" longer than the short stock lug bolts that are used for steel wheels with a thicker non threaded area and a built in flat washer.
Once I get my car back from HPH (I think tommorrow) I will see how much I have to pull out the rear fenders. |

Huh? Got a picture? just for reference. I have some long lug bolts with the ball seating surface. Got to have them for Fuch alloys.
Come to think of it I do have a set of lug bolts that you describe not sure how long they are. I remember seeing them in a box in my garage somewhere???? I'll ship if you can ID them better. |

The A032R's are 205/50/15. I have some pictures, but I'm having trouble loading them to my image host. Offset is going to interesting. I think they will fit with rolled fenders based on my eyeball estimates. If they dont work I'll just have to get some of those revolutions. |

Got the car back today and got the rolling pin out and the American Racing wheels fit now. I have to admit my fender work looks a little 3rd world, not completely even and a little cracking paint, but what the hell. It just gets me on the road to repainting the car ...or not. Regardless the wheels fit under the fenders and now I can have some fun!
The new Kerry Hunter header is great and the Supertrapp muffler sounds good (looks nice too). Car has a a little more power in mid and upper range rpms now. Not as fast a 2.0 but fast enough so now I dont feel like I'm standing still. Only one problem my car is a 1974 and the bumperette in the rear is right underneath where the muffler sits. I melted a little hole in the bottom of it (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) ...I have been meaning to lose those bumperette things. Thanks for all the great work by HPH my car is ready to go for this season! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif) |
