Bolt Pattern Adventures: The Day My Challenger Taught Me a Lesson

 So, there I was, minding my own business on a lazy Sunday afternoon, thinking I’d give my 2016 Dodge Challenger a little TLC. You know, the usual — wash, wax, and a couple of beers in between. But, like any good gearhead, I got distracted. One quick look at my wheels, and I thought, “You know what? It's time for a little upgrade.”  Now, before you ask, yes, I’ve been down the modding r...

Putting the Question of Molded Splash Guards w/ 18" Wheels to Rest

 Okay, kids. If you've been following my other thread about the suitability of the GM molded splash guards P/N's 19170964 (F) and 17800979 (R) for Gen8's with 18" wheels, you already know that there has been an ongoing question in the minds of some regarding interference issues. My 2016 LTZ is equipped with 18" wheels and 235/50 tires, and I can now state categorically that there are certainl...

Blizzak DM-V1 Awesome in the snow!!!

 Just took the MO on a long trip with the Bridgestone Blizzaks DM-V1's in the snow and ice. These winter tires are great ...running highway speeds up to 50 with other cars spinning off the road at times (mainly poor driving with inadequate tires I presume). At the resort, there is a very steep hill up to the condo and even some AWD vehicles with regular all-seasons could not make it up the sn...

Ride Quality: OEM 18 vs. 20

 Just put my winter tires/rims on for the first time. I find that the 18" tires give a much more supple ride and absorb the bumps that are usually jarring with the 20's. Some of this is due to the tire (18 Blizzak vs. 20 Toyo), but a large deal is probably due to taller sidewall. The handling is not nearly as good, but for long trips on the highway to go skiing I don't think I'll mind! :D &n...

BBS LM (DBK) wheels + new tires and brakes

 After over four years with the CV04S wheels, I decided to switch them out.  I carefully considered my options and settled on BBS LM (DBK) wheels, which I purchased from D'Art and had rebarreled by MOONTECH. The sizes are approximately F10.5J -13 and R11.5J -13 (with some variance due to the rebarreling), maintaining similar dimensions to the CV04S. I asked MOONTECH to ensure a tight fi...

Got some 20s

 I had been looking for new tires for a week. But was low on funds. So I wanted to get used tires but all were to much. Found some 20s with tires for cheap. On with the pics.

New wheels: custom made

 OK, so before you say it, don’t lol the whole point of these wheels was to make some thing, but I’ve always wanted, at least as a reference point and then when they get here which should be about a week or so I’m going to have them x-rayed, and do all the crazy stuff to make sure they are properly put together and maybe sell these things. Not quite exactly these because they aren’t my design...
