But that’s not what I meant. You can’t fit a 275mm tire on a 9.5" wide rim under the front fenders while keeping the stock diameter; it WILL rub. The widest tire one can fit on a 9.5" rim (and still clear the calipers) is 265mm. This size tire will stick out ~8mm in front and ~5mm in rear on a 5zigen Fn01rc 18x9.5" rim. I know this sounds absolutely retarded, but we must consider the way the *shape* of the tire changes with respect to the width of the rim. For example, ShowKiller was the only person (that I know of) who had 275mm tires up front (stock fenders without any modifications) with no rubbing/sticking out issues. He told me this was mainly due to the rim width and offset he was using (18x9" 38mm), so I decided to look into it. I found many cases of people using 275mm tires with 9.5" rims that had to cut/mold their front and in some cases rear fenders to stop the tires from rubbing. This and some other information I gathered is what made me arrive to the aforementioned generalization.  - Syed Last edited by 1500awhp : 04-08-2006 at 10:40 AM. |

Re: Chicago Crew Thread #2
Anyone know the name of that springy clip thing for brake calipers? Anyone have an extra?
Bueller? Anyone?....Bueller? If anyone will be down by the river, could you knock on Jamie's van door and ask him what the hell this thing is called? Muchas gracias mis amigos.

Re: Chicago Crew Thread #2
Pretty sure he is talking about the metal(copper colored?) piece shaped somewhat like a t with a curve to it. It goes over the end of the pads to hold them in place. Its been a few years since Ive done a brake job on one of these so this is all by memory.
