So snetterton yes/no anybodys input appreciated

 

post up a pic but i havent seen or heard them fitting ss/tc

 

so do the ss/na or ion redline wheels fit without spacers? i wish the first page of the sticky was updated.

 

the SS/2.4 & some HHR wheels do fit with no spacers (it all comes down to the backside of the spoke), but hte clearence is near microscopic;
I needed to use a piece of paper to verify that there was clearance - and thath te paper wouldn't catch/drag on any spot of the caliper - it's just that close.

Even with those rims, I'd suggest a 3mm spacer.

 

Does anyone have anymore info on the Audi RS4 wheels? I would hate to get these and have wheel stud and safety issues.


I think I have posted a pic before in this thread but here is one of the SS/NA wheels with no spacers and no clearance issues.

 

With "microscopic" clearance of wheel to rotor, I would run a 3mm spacer too. When you are at speed vs resting, hot vs. cold, turning, side load deflection, etc. I would be worried there could be moments the microscopic becomes zero.

As for the 5x112, I personally would only run 5x110 on a car made for 5x110. 2mm might not seem like much, but you want the lugs to all seat uniformly and concentrically into the lug holes on the wheel with equal torque - same with the whole wheel to the hub. Under the dynamic conditions above, you don't know what would happen if it was just a hair off. Driving to the grocery store may be okay. Maybe not. I wouldn't want to find out.

 

Can we get a mod to fix this thread and have somebody that is actually going to stay here update it?

 

I'm pretty sure you just mis-typed, but incase anyone is reading that and scratching their head, the "near microscopic" clearance I posted of, is between the front face of the (front) calipers, and the rear face of the wheel's spokes... but I'm with tmaddox

 

I have a feeling that this microscopic clearance issue is what most oems run... my old mustang had less than 1mm between the back of the 17" bullets and the two piston cobra caliper on a 13" rotor and that was an oem package.

 

1 mm is .040", or about a spark plug gap. I guess if the mustang came from the factory that way, it must be okay for Ford, but personally, I would still run a thin spacer on any car that was that tight to give me a little more room.
I may be paranoid, but I have run over gum wrappers that are thicker. Suppose one got wedged in there, caused the wheel to lock up, and put me into a tail spin at 8 mph in the 7-11 parking lot?
Yea, I guess I am paranoid.

 

I don't run mine on a daily so I'm not really worried about things getting into the space. I just run my slicks on them. Even if I were to run them daily I don't see much reason for concern. I would be more worried about a rock getting stuck in the larger stock gap versus a gum rapper locking up a closer gap. Just my opinion.

 

The gum wrapper was a metaphor. A 18 pound wheel being spun by a 3000 pound car would shred the gum wrapper without hesitation. I was saying even with a new factory stock car/wheel, if the clearance was only 1 mm I would run a spacer. Probably a waste of time, but as I said, I am paranoid.

 

enkeli ls-5 doesnt fit my 09 ss/tc even with 5mm spacers, wasted 370 to two day air ship them

 

How the heck did this guy fit them vvvvv

????????

 

Any word if the Pontiac G5 GT 17" will fit the SS-TC?

 

Any idea of a light weight 17"x8" wheel that will clear the Brembos and be strong enough for autocross or track days?

 

team dynamics...

 

Which model, and where can I buy them? Seems like they are extremely high dollar wheels.

 

You want inexpensive and strong wheels? Get Enkeis...if that's too expensive...then good luck with the "strong" part.

 

I can handle Enkeis, I can't seem to find a price on Team Dynamics wheels

 

haha there all custom made you have to email them i think

 

You could ask the one guy that has a set of em.

 

g5 gts will fit with a spacer

do the g6 gtps fit?

 

The 18"s do for sure There's a couple guys on here with 'em. They're sexy as a ****.

 

if my memory serves me correctly, I've only seen them on LSJ cars...
