The hard part with this whole Wheel/Tire and proper Offsets is that they almost never post up whats important. Some post wheel width, some tire sizes.

You really need to know the Model Year, Offsets, Tire Sizes and Wheel Sizes

Here is mine:

2 18x8 et54mm offset front and 2 18x10 et58mm offset rears, 5x130 bolt pattern

Dunlop Direzza DZ101 225/40/18 Fronts

Dunlop Direzza DZ101 265/35/18

As you can see by the picture, a 275/35/18 "needs" to be on the rears.

We really need to wait and see when the car has been driven to see its shocks settled for the final outcome.

Can't get more clearer than this post.

What time do you get up in the morning and what time do you go to bed?

Ha ha, yeah woke up earlier today as I need to go to work so I can leave a little early. Going Snowboarding over the weekend. Leaving as soon as I get home from work.

I told you the sticker would help your car get started , except the final haul is up to you. I feel confident your gonna be ok. I am with you, stubborn, which is good. I say run, run it and run it. It's just a block, dime a dozen.

Got the rear wheels in my truck now. It's getting 275's mounted after the 265's are removed. These bad boys are wide as it sits.

[MPDano]

Got my 275's mounted and put back on the car. They are fat in a good way!!

Just got a Paypal Invoice from Witch Hunter and paid them $162 for Servicing and Flow Matching all 8 of my Injectors. Getting close now.

You mean these 30 year old injectors sitting in the rain on my doorstep and looking newish?

[MPDano]

Here's where I was worried since the Powdercoater put some powdercoating on the insides of the Injector Holes. It must have been a very thin coat since the Injectors fit very nicely.

Lookin very nice Leo.

Today after I said "f%$# it," I'm going to do some work on the "S." So I took all my Powdercoated pieces and used my Ryobi sanding Mouse to get rid of some of the powdercoat overspray from the flat pieces that will sit on the head. After making sure all 8 Spider Legs were nice and flat and clean, I noticed a very fine grit inside the tubes. Anyone getting your Intake Pieces Pwdercoated, make sure to rinse them of all blasting grit. I used my high pressure hose and cleaned all my parts to include the Spider Body and Fuel Rails.

I also started to clean my grounds (per Landseer) on the Passenger Cylinder Head and decided to rebuild my Fuel Hoses too. I have a Fuel Cooler so I will be rebuilding 3 hoses.

Here's the pieces of my pieces.

Leo, look to rebuild the supply hose, too. Runs upward past the passenger side header. A little tough to reach but was really in bad shape on the last car I did.

[Landseer]

At least.

Yes, but in just the engine passenger side is what I meant. The main hoses for exploding.

[Landseer]

yes, the single one leading up from below on the passenger side, then the 8 at the injectors (you have those already done) then under the air cleaner there are at least 3 maybe 4.

There is at least one more on the pressure side of the pump in the back, leading into the right rear fender well, but the only person Ive heard doing that was Greg Brown. He used some sort of kevlar shrouded hose back there on his son's 83 car.

You are really making that 83 a nice car. Congrats.

I know its a frustration for you, but would love to see the other car back as well in its new paint.

Got it. So it is the 3 main ones I am talking about. Feed from Tank, Feed to Cooler, Return to Tank. Those are the 3 I was originally talking about. They all look the same size too, which is good. I wonder if it's the same size as the larger hose I bought originally to rebuild the Fuel Rails?
