Pardon me, I haven't been keeping track.
@p1l0t If you don't mind me asking what are you doing in Puerto Rico? What are your impressions of the place? Do you have some pics to share?

Nah I'm back already. Did NY to VA, Nantucket, and back to NY last night. (And repositions from CT to NY and back). Aaaand now 6hrs later I have ground school. It's illegal to fly me with that much rest but not ground school, lol.

I go there for work during the winters. I finished my season early, Oct-Jan (can be as late as Apr or May tho). However they got short one weekend and sent me back to fill in. It's a beautiful place, but the people have their own culture for sure, lol.

I think it's pretty funny (and kind of annoying) how people that ride with me say I drive like a maniac when I have a tendency to take it easier when they're in the car. If only they could see how I drive without a passenger...

20mm front and 25 mm rear seems to be the most common spacer on the stock wheels/tires in terms of making them flush. If I am going to go up to 225/45 on the stock wheels do you think i should drop to 15 and 20 mm spacers respectively? Any chance any of you know if the arp extended studs + stock lug nuts will clear the 20mm spacers?

Sorry I took the weekend off.

I ran 225's on stock rims they do bulge past the rims a little bit so you could drop 5mm to to be sure they stay inside the arches. No idea how long APR studs are sorry.

Some people tell me that because I don't slow to a crawl around anything other than a straight road.

Ah, good, it's not just me then.
I generally go in to limo-mode when hauling passengers, but in the 86 the limo-mode still produces tire squeal.

I think 10k/12k f/r count as higher rates... I'm not sure if world be faster though, need to get to a test-n-tune.
