    Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

    I am replacing my rear 18x10+30 wheels with 18x10+24 ones. Currently the rears have 245/40/18 and have a slight stretch to prevent rubbing, but with the new rears, the lip of the wheel is flush with the fender and it needs a roll, but im going to get the wheels lips refinished and get new...

    Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

    With a 10 inch wheel and a +20 offset you will need a fender roll. Fitments depends on the tire size as well. With a roll you will probably need a stretch on the tire using a 245 or so, any wider and you might need a fender pull.

    Anyone ever use a fumoto valve?

    Just wondering if anyone has used one and know whch model will work on the mkIII (1JZ). Seems like a cheap solution for quick oil changes. Is it a big con that you dont remove the plug alll the way possibly not letting out any particles that would normally come out with plug removal...

    Cant get Strut assembly out

    lol I know not to step on the brake pedal but moving the hub doesnt help based on the fact on how the strut is positioned. But Jose caught me.....the opposite wheel is still on the ground and I have probably been fighting the sway bar. So tonight I will lift the other side and see how it goes...

    Cant get Strut assembly out

    Ya might just have to remove the control arm because yes the strut is expanded so it wont clear and due to it being lodged in that position, pressing on the hub doesnt allow any more clearance because the strut cant be pulled at an angle to allow it to come out. I guess removing the upper arm is...

    turbo a duct

    Abflug is the only aftermarket one that I think has the studs on the rear and the threaded holes in front. All others dont have the studs and the front holes are covered up. Someone correct me if im wrong about this.
