    Tire pressure??????

    Ok, so I'm running the new 235/55ZR17's and not sure what pressure to run them at for general road driving. Max pressure on the sidewall is 51 psi with a 1600lbs load. So I guess I'm gonna run them at about 48psi unless you all think differently. Lemme know!

    Wheel Adapter Problems!!!!

    Ok, bought some wheel adapters for my new Bullit wheels and they don't quite fit!:bang: They're 5 on 4.5" but I can't get a socket in the hole to tighten more than one up. If I tighten one down then others won't line up correctly to let the socket fit!!! I'm quite confuzed... If you...
