I am paid to support the manufacturing and test guys with data mining and analysis. Right now it is 430 am and I am getting f'ed in the pooper because one of the engines "went over" the 6th order vibration limit, and they pulled and rebladed the fan. Turns out the high reading was just due to crossover from the 2nd order vib level, so they wasted all sorts of time and money pulling the fan and retesting it. Now none of the upper management will sign off on the engines until they are certain that the vibration readings are accurate, so that is where I come in. 17 hour work days suck.

someone keep me company, I am lonely. I would also like the aforementioned cookie.

We have too many computers, and too many dummies working them. If the computer says something, everyone blindly follows it. This whole situation could have been avoided if someone had actually bothered to look at the printout of one of the plots.

Ah well. Technology blows. I want to go back to the good old days of hot air balloon travel. That way I could sport a handle bar mustache and not be ridiculed. I will have the last laugh.

what kind of wheels do you have and high much do they weigh?

Mine are heavy as ****. Stupid move on my part. rear wheel is like 41lbsmade of steel. Marsh Racing wheels makes only one wheel bigger than a 15. offorad truck wheels. I bought them because I did not think I would find big wheels I could afford.

Saw some recently for a setup similar to yours for about 1200 for the rims.light weight too. I paid 680 shipped. rather have paid extra $600more for wheels that weigh half as much.

are yours on your car yet?and what size fenders?

FN01R-Cs and I haven't put them on but I am hopping to use you as a guienea pig =/So I could see what I am gettting into.

How much did the body shop charge you to put on your fenders?

The 17x10s are 21lbs The 17x9s are 19lbs or so

I have 30mm fronts and 50mm rear fendersI purchased the FN01R-Cs for about $750And the fenders for $600

And I allready wasted my money =(

I know the offsets are weak (FRT: +15 & RR: +12) but you don't think I will have a hard time fitting 17*9s in the frt? I am worried about having the turning radius of a Mack Truck (rubbing of the wheels against the wheel weld).

I was thinking of using spacers for them and on top of that they are x9s and x10s so I figured I would need fenders.

How do you supose I go about putting them on?

fronts will fit fine, theres tons of people running 17x9 +15s, or thereabouts...

rears youll need to pull your fenders a bit to fit the 10s in but not that hard at all

you definately dont want overfenders, then all youd be doing would be putting a 20mm spacer up front and a 50mm spacer in rear and having the same specs as before, just now with fenders

good deal where did you get the fno1rc's?

I got rid of the wheels I had. convinced the company to take them all back because they messed up one wheel four times.

So I am buying the fno1rc's in the same width 17x10 and 17x9.Unfortunatey they are not willing to make a 17x11. I tried.

I can only find them for about 820 before tax and shipping.
