It's pretty easy, just clean the wheels and start coating. There is 3 coats of dip, and 2 coats of gloss. I also did the fender stripes, gas tank cover and logos to.

Is your white dip not working on yours?

 

[mzoomalohahi5]

The dip sticks but it was super hard to keep it on.

Has anyone tried a 275/40/20? I've been shopping some wheels, but the particular model I'm looking at looks better in a 10.5 wide versus and 8.5 wide. With that width, I'd need to get a 275/40/20 to keep stock ride height close to the original.

I'm wondering about tire width and MPGs. If a tire it's wider, doesn't make the MPGs to go down?

Are you gonna have enough room? I test fit a 20x10 ET40 and it BARELY fit the rears. What specs are you looking at?

I thought it was the diameter that had a greater effect.

You can go pretty large in dia (I think someone's running around on 22s). You can always go with a lower aspect ratio. But you're pretty limited with width and offset before you start hitting suspension components.

The Veronas are on my list also. They look good on your CX-5 and makes me jealous

Thanks guys. Nothing too fancy, just the 19x8.5" with OEM rubber.

Wow. Good luck with that. please post up if you're able to stuff that in there---unless you're going staggered? You FWD or AWD?

AWD. I know it probably won't work. I was just exploring my options because the wider wheel has a deeper concave in the spokes. I'll probably end up with something between 20x8.5 and 20x9.5.

Tell me about it. I'm In the same boat. I want deep concave or fat lip
