Just a little purple protege5 build

Jazzy has a good point, my strut bar had 3 mounting points as well

Nope! Its still up for sale. And I was told that the mx6 strut bar fits our cars.

I can always do a bit of hacking to make it fit.

Looks like you bought a front one! You need the rear one!

 

[TonyKahrs]

I test fitted the front, it didn't seem to fit, I'll check it out when it gets warm. Maybe I have the wrong bar....

Quick little update,

Doesn't fit, ordered new part (correct one this time) and color matched the front one.

I'll be driving without a trunk for a few days till it arrives.

And here are a few pics just because.

Yo yo! I need help with this.
I have my eye on a set of rims that are 16 x 8.5 with an offset of 32mm what does any of this mean and will it fit?

That means their pretty wide, and stick out pretty far. Should work though. Probably run 215 tires. Might be a little ugly though, unless you get coils and fit them. What kind of wheels are they?

 

[TonyKahrs]

Haha. C4 corvette wheels. The sawblade ones.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the lug pattern is wrong, and you'd need adapter spacers.

 

[TonyKahrs]

Right, according to a website dedicated to corvette wheels, the pattern is 5 lug, where ours is also 5 lug. Am I incorrect?

They are both 5 lug, but the spacing is different. Ours are 5x114.3mm. Corvette is 5x120.6mm

 

[TonyKahrs]

Right. That I didn't know. So I would need an adapter, and that would space the wheels out even further.

Hey guys! On my way down to tennesse, my right front tire blew up! I'm at a discount tire replacing the two fronts, because no one has the size tire that the car wants, so I had to get a different size. 205 45 16r

So does anybody run a 16x7.5 wheel? What offset and does it rub? I'm looking into how to fit those c4 wheels on the car.
