Title: Re: 3-7-09 SECM Install Day Post by: timot_one on March 09, 2009, 09:54:55 AM Looks like you guys had a good time. Sorry to hear about the rubbing, but it seems like you'll get that cleared up soon.
Title: Re: 3-7-09 SECM Install Day Post by: Blackhawk on March 09, 2009, 10:15:58 AM I ran sprint springs for a little while on the Hawk and I have nothing but good things to say about them. Looks like you need to sell the old wheel set and their funky offset. Good luck with your setup man. Fun times.
Title: Re: 3-7-09 SECM Install Day Post by: exelr8 on March 09, 2009, 12:07:45 PM thanks guys...
So far i really like the sprint springs they ride very well almost as good as stock ad handle fairly well too. Title: Re: 3-7-09 SECM Install Day Post by: exelr8 on March 09, 2009, 12:08:46 PM 17x8 +45 and 245/45 17
Title: Re: 3-7-09 SECM Install Day Post by: rip_cord on March 09, 2009, 03:01:49 PM Dang, I was hating it at work yesterday. I wish i could of stayed longer. I'm glad the Accord is back on the road.
Title: Re: 3-7-09 SECM Install Day Post by: exelr8 on March 09, 2009, 03:14:01 PM no worries the gram lights will be on in a few weeks i found a friend with the actuall fender roller
Title: Re: 3-7-09 SECM Install Day Post by: Blackhawk on March 09, 2009, 03:42:23 PM Quote from: "exelr8" 17x8 +45 and 245/45 17 Are you sure that the rims are +45? This is the same specs on TL wheels and they don't rub. I find these specs hard to believe for the gramlights to rub like that. Title: Re: 3-7-09 SECM Install Day Post by: exelr8 on March 09, 2009, 03:50:00 PM at first the guy i bought them from said they are +20 offset and i questioned him and then he said he looked it up and they are a +45 offset (roughly) Could it be because of the massive tires size i have?
Title: Re: 3-7-09 SECM Install Day Post by: Blackhawk on March 09, 2009, 04:17:12 PM 245/45/17 is a non-rubbing size for TL wheels. I can almost put money that the guys's first assertion is correct at +20.
Title: Re: 3-7-09 SECM Install Day Post by: exelr8 on March 09, 2009, 04:26:03 PM oh well since they are off i will measure and get the actual offset one day this week before work
Title: Re: 3-7-09 SECM Install Day Post by: seththekorean on March 09, 2009, 04:35:05 PM yeah, its inside the wheel itself right?
running an offset like that that isnt tooooo low but still low, is pretty G haha. so itll look nice when you roll your fenders. Title: Re: 3-7-09 SECM Install Day Post by: exelr8 on March 09, 2009, 04:40:15 PM thanks seth hopefully i will have it done and the grams on before the april meet he is gonna charge me a bill to do it so it will take a minute for me to have the money....
Title: Re: 3-7-09 SECM Install Day Post by: seththekorean on March 09, 2009, 04:42:05 PM yeahh itll look sick no doubt.
im still looking for a set of wheels, and you know how much i search and research and i stilll havent found a good sset. Title: Re: 3-7-09 SECM Install Day Post by: exelr8 on March 09, 2009, 04:43:09 PM haha yeah you search like crazy but we love you for it
