what did you do to your Sonic today?

FirstOrbit, where are the pic's with the Cruze wheels? You're running out of time to get them installed.

Have been deciding on tires. I think I'm getting them installed on Saturday. Do you think a 1/4" spacer will work with the stock studs? I'm probably going to pull a lug nut tonight to see if I can measure the threads.

DDM's spacer is 3/16th, I do not think that an extra 1/16th inch will cause any clearance issues. I would also just go with DDM since we all know they fit with the stock studs and DDM produces solid, quality products.

 

[firstorbit84]

I already have the other spacers. I'm not concerned about clearance as much as I am about having enough threads to engage the nut properly.

 

[rdss]

Like I said, the DDM spacers a 1/16th inch thinner than the ones you have and they do not have any issues. Toss them on your 15's and see how they fit, the hub should be the same.

I swapped a 1.4l badge for the turbo badge. 1st mod, if you call it a mod.

Check for about 8 turns before engagement.


(This is not from insufficient engagement but wrong thread lugnuts)

 

[firstorbit84]

thanks, I've heard that six turns is really the minimum, or that you want at least your stud diameter's length of threads available (i.e. if you have a half inch diameter stud then you should have a half inch of threads available after the wheel and spacer are put on)

I've seen that video before. My friend and I were talking about it at the last autocross when I mentioned that wobble bolts might be an alternative way for a Volkswagen with 5x 112 bolt pattern to fit 5x 114.3 wheels. he swore that the car had the wheels fall off because of the wrong lug seat ( conical vs ball), but the wrong thread pattern also make sense

I like that a lot

 

[Ltguy]

Met up with Laborsmith this morning for a bit, grabbed some RS springs off him,went home and installed the rears which lowered the rear 5/8 inch on my LT so the rear is now only 1/4 higher than the front.

I also replaced the sway bar end links with those from a 2010 Cobalt SS

Car deff handles noticeably better now, it'll do until I get lower springs and 17's
