Picked up my Rims yesterday morning. they look Good (not great) a few minor minor blemishes, but since i need to mount tires on them asap for tomorrow i just asked for a few $ off and took em. i do like the color and shine, though i would have prefered a more gold color then the stock.
just called the local subaru (south shore who sucks) and they don't even mount tires or do alignment. they refered me to Kens tire. ON Refferal, he'll mount them for $20 a tire.
he's not sure if the STI's camber can be adjusted (no price on that yet)
ARG guess i'll call around, and probably end up at Wallmart . (walmart has refused to rotate my tires before when one of them was below 1/16" of an inch. i think 2 of my Extra RE070s are below that, but i pretty much just want to finish them off on the track ... )
ARG! this is still a lot better of a situation then when i had 1 set of rims. I've almost got 2 viable sets ready to roll. i think big o tire will mount for $50 ...
wallmart maybe $40 .. time to call more places. anyone know a good shop open past 5:50 in carson city? maybe one that does alignment also (i want a tiny bit of negative camber in front) ? thanks thanks
since 2 of my extra REO70's have more tread then the other 2, i'm assuming they Should be in front for 2 reasons. (front tires iniate the turns) more importantly the Center diff can allow the backs to spin faster then the front, but not vice versa, less tread = smaller overall circumferance, which means those tires have to rotate more per mile. So i figure since the fronts will have more tread (like 1/16th more) i could ride on them with some negative camber and not care about tire wearing issues. (i'll keep off my snows except for actual snow use after this weekend)
advice , suggestions? thanks
** edit ** wallmart and big O will do it for $10. but only wallmart is open past 5:30 so guess its wallmart or bust for me
