LOL, I'll keep an eye open for it. Have you ordered a tune for the C&L?

Autonut May 8, 2013 07:20 AM

Yup, I gave them all the information they needed for the custom tune.

It came today. I installed the C&L CAI and put the performance tune in. I'm really happy with the out come. Fellow member Roddy has done it again for me. :bow: Now all he has to do is show me some tweaking tricks. :cyberguy:

Thanks, buddy for all your help and that special delivery today!!! :yourock:

No problem and I'm glad you're happy. Did you get a chance to take it for more of a drive? I'll have to stop by when I have more than 5 minutes to spare.

Change of plans.

Well, here I go again. I changed my mind. I'm not going to go with the Bullitt Rims that I bought back in March. I picked up some near perfect 18" 10 Spoke rims off an 2012 Mustang. Just a minor scratch where someone tried to pop off the center cap. Now to try and find some tires for them. What size do I need going from 16" to 18"? That also means that the Bullitt Rims will be going up for sale.

I was looking forward to seeing the gold wheels but those will look pretty damn good and the lower profile tires will look better. I think the factory size for 2012 is 235/50 18.

^ what he said.

Depending on the width of the wheel, you might also be able to use a 255/45/18 tire.

The rims are 8" wide. Kevin from Empey Tire on your side of the bay is looking into some tires for me. He is interested in taking my 2 sets in on trade. I'll know more on Monday.

8" is on the low end of recommended rim widths for a 255/45 tire. 8.5 would be better 9.0 would be perfect. The 235/50 would be a better fit with an 8" wheel. There is a pretty big selection of tires in that size anyway. Did you ever end up getting a new battery?
