sleepn_sn95's 95 GT - Project DGAF - Update - 5/2/15

So my wheels were supposed to ship out yesterday

I got a call from them saying that they had made a mistake. They weren't selling the wheels I ordered in the color and offset they had advertised and sold to me. They had that size and offset in 2 other colors but I wasn't set on those so I canceled the order all together. Since I already bought some expensive 18" rear tires and someone is coming to buy the XXR's tomorrow I am on the search for a new set of wheels.

A buddy of mine has the Enkei PF01s on his Civic and they look really good. I'm a bit curious as to how these would have looked on an SN. Did you photoshop them on to get an idea?

No I never did a Photoshop with them. I think I would have liked them but for my next wheels im going to try to find something with a nice stepped lip

I got my headlights on yesterday. Im not really sure how I feel about them yet. Once I get some new wheels and do some other things I think they will tie into the car better

A little update of whats going on. I got some new hubs in along with moroso 3" studs and some 12mm spacers. I didnt want to mess with doing the studs on the car and I figured the wheel bearings could stand to be replaced so I did it this way. I used a hydraulic press to press out the old studs and to seat the new ones. Im back up at school now but Ill be back home next weekend so they might get installed

And the extended studs pressed in

5-oh-MUSTANG · Jan 11, 2015

why not just get 15mm spacers that have stud on them? Thats what im gonna do with my 295's

My wheels dont have any recessed areas behind them for the other set of studs to go so this is my only option

5-oh-MUSTANG · Jan 11, 2015

what do u mean by that? The existing studs get covered and the new ones on the spacer mount on ur wheels?

Ferocious · Jan 11, 2015

A 15mm spacer with studs requires a back pocket on the wheel for the studs on the wheel bearing to go otherwise the wheel can't be mounted flush against the surface.

5-oh-MUSTANG · Jan 11, 2015

so ur saying the original studs on my existing wheel bearing right now would be interfering and touching the back of my wheel even while over the 15mm spacer?

Ferocious · Jan 11, 2015

If it doesn't have the back pockets yes.

Imagine these rims...

It's not going to mount.

Sweet man, those will look good!

Longer studs are needed for use with spacers.

Ive been on the hunt for some new seats and finally found some. Ive been wanting either stock black cloth seats or racing seats and I found these on CL for 100 bucks so I couldn't pass them up. Its hard to find black cloth seats around here in decent shape. I read a lot of good reviews about Tuff Stuff upholstery cleaner so I grabbed a can and tried it out. I need to go over them a couple more times probably but it got a lot of the bigger stains out.
