Re: Complete listing of 4 bolt x 100mm rims

Naw, studded tires are not needed. People I know that have had them don't like them. Driving on ice is apparently great (when the studs are new), but they make more noise and also have a very noticeable difference in traction when driving on anything but ice. More movement and sliding on pavement. N...

Re: Complete listing of 4 bolt x 100mm rims

The 80's MR2 had two brake sizes. The 87-89 had enlarged front rotors and calipers. When they upgraded the rotor/caliper, the mounting points stayed the same (it's actually the same caliper, just the caliper carrier is bigger). Despite the bigger caliper and rotor, the caliper piston size stayed the...

Re: Complete listing of 4 bolt x 100mm rims

the VW Golf rotors have a larger center bore. But that didn't bother me because the rotors are not weight bearing. They only have to slow a rotational force. The rims, rather, bear the entire weight of the car and G-forces and suspension impacts.

Re: Complete listing of 4 bolt x 100mm rims

...and yes, I completely agree on the ring. Any force great enough to break studs will surely crush a plastic ring. If this was a danger, why even make them? I just prefer the fact that the hub is there to prevent any deflecting or deforming of the studs. Again, I have heard horror stories of broken...

Re: Complete listing of 4 bolt x 100mm rims

So far I have only found two sets of rims that will fit over my brake setup. These Kia Rio 15"s and Miata 15" 5 spokes. The Miata 14" Daisy rims DO NOT clear my caliper. Hard to decide which ones look nicer, maybe the Miata 15"s. I was also thinking about painting my Rios white. ...
