I'm running stock studs. I counted 7-8 threads of engagement.

Hey @Spart ! Finally had the chance to take a picture of my car with the TL wheels. Since you shared your setup, here's mine! Running with 5/16 inch spacers. Have a nice day!

Hey thanks for tagging me! I wanted to see what they look like. Looks pretty good! I'll be installing my winter setup this week too!

Hahaha 😂 This started my morning well! I learned recently in my region, that trucks and heavy vehicles (Large) are not required to have winter tires. The amount of semis you see drifting off the road into ditches during winter is comedic at this point. You reminded me I had a work colleague...

Haha I don't mind a friendly conversation. I plan to run 235/40/18 Blizzaks also! I had Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9 on my STI in 245/40/18. The Nokians are exceptional for severe winter conditions and they last. But when there was no snow or ice on the road, and they were in contact with the...

You're right! BBS is a reputable wheel brand that follows certifications and testing methods defined by TUV. OEM wheels are usually better than aftermarket wheels because they have extensive testing and they have test on cars in the real world and all over the world. For example, an automotive...

Hi Optronix, I think where it derailed is, you fail to understand that this setup is only for winter and not for performance targets. So allow me to explain WHY I chose to run this setup and WHY it might be useful to some. I did not just slap on ancient wheels and call it a day. 1st point I...

It's not a matter of cheaping out. Actually I wanted OEM wheels as they are usually more durable than aftermarket ones. Especially around where I am from. the roads are so crappy, even quality aftermarket wheels get bent. Plus, generally aftermarket wheels' coatings are not as good as OEMs...

Hey everyone, I discovered something today and I wanted to share with y'all. As winter is slowly coming, I was starting to look for 18 x 8 options with a 5 x 120 bolt pattern. Most aftermarket used wheels I found locally were for BMWs with a staggered setup which I didn't want. I even tried...

Hey everyone! My name is Alex and I am a Honda fan. I wish I knew about this forum sooner, but I'm here now! In 2022, I was tempted to buy a Civic SI, but I didn't like the fact that Honda doesn't offer the powertrain with the hatchback form factor. As I cancelled my plans for the Civic, I...
