spear tire

[ians13]

what car uses the same bolt patturn as the supra so i can get a small light spare* tire the stock spare* tires is full size and very heavy

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Just curious.... why would you want to run somthing not full size.... The rear of the car is what needs weight anyways

 

[johnathan1]

it's SPARE tire, and i don't know.

Get a spare from an RX-7. Its a donut and same bolt pattern.

 

[outofstep]

I would think having a spear in the rear would be dangerous.

 

[HIDPLANET]

What about if you have a limited slip?
If a rear goes out, you dont want to have a smaller diameter tire as it could damage the rear couldnt it?

Not to mention painful!:biggrinbo

hahah outofstep ftw! lol

 

[theDon]

still haven't heard if the MKIV spare would fit and be lighter, anyone try this yet?

 

[supra90turbo]

RX7 spear tyer. it fits liek a chizzarm.

 

[IJ.]

I was going to spellcheck it but this is way more fun

 

[Clip]

hahaha. or if you're looking to save on weight, i think the front wheel off of a bigwheels should fit quite nicely. as for the bolt pattern, its make-your-own.

yeah, um, the spare tire is big for a reason. We have a chunky car and a lil donut wont do much good. Not to mention if you have an LSD, and you run a lil donut on the rear with something big on the other side, you're going to burn up the lsd clutches pretty quickly. Our weight distribution is 55/45, why ruin it by taking weight out of the back? If you want to save 10 lbs or so, lose it in the middle of the car, aka stop eating so much.

i see i did not know about the lsd thing, i would hate to kill my lsd. did not all turbos come with lsd.

 

[outofstep]

I havent ever heard that running a dougnut will tear up the lsd.

is that how it goes? turbos have a lsd?cuz i was curious and never knew...


for that spare tire thing...you can always get a later model MKIII or MKIV 5 spoker.

All turbo cars and N/A's with sports package came with LSD's

 

[90T04]

Im pretty sure the RX7's that the donuts came with have LSD's too, right?

Edit: Yep they did

In 1984 a more powerful 1.3 liter rotary engine was introduced, the 13B. The 13B produced 135 horsepower and was placed in the 'special edition' cars called the GSL-SE. The GSL-SE were given disc brakes on all four corners and a Limited Slip Differential. The zero to sixty time improved to just under nine seconds.

N/A's had it optional without the sports package.

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Well yeah. You could get anything optionally
