POST SPECS HERE

Why doesn't everyone post their
1.Brand of Rim
2.Rim size
3.Offset
4.Brand of tire
5.Tire size
6.Drop amount
7.Do they rub.

That way any time someone is looking for wheels/tires, they have a quick reference of all the different circumstances in one location which is apples to apples.

I've noticed that people have posted specs before but leave out one factor or another, Which makes the comparison impossible.
Searching for all circumstances is nearly impossible.

Then Soopa could move it to the FAQ section in a few days after a good variety has posted.

People won't buy unless they are sure because you can't return em once you buy em.

(thankyou TL board for the idea/words ) The TL board did it, and its really informative http://www.acura-tl.com/forum/showth...threadid=15225

1.) Acura Chrome CL-S rims on a CL-P
2.) 17X7's
3.) 50
4.) Dunlop Sport 5000's (The Best.)
5.) 215-50-17. Match load weight of CL-P the best, for load weight of CL-S 225-45-17 match best.
6.) No drop
7.) No rub
8.) Great improvement in handling and ride quality, and ten times better in the rain.
