I got the Modern Tire kit too. It does take a lot of space but my wife's car has a bigger trunk anyway!!

Lockkey was distorted in the key content section, DT was able to remove the log lug nut. You can google the tool set for removing nuts without the key--available to everyone, including wheel thieves so locks are only for honest people and owners with the key! Removal can be accomplished by...

Flat tire. Ordered the replacement from Discount, special order for 5BW, arrival in 3 days. Now, Roadside to get my car to the tire shop. Nope, only free to the dealer which is 75 miles from me, and who won't have the tire. If I want, I can pay Roadside to take the car15 miles to Discount. No...

If you're talking about the rears in the package shelf, the rattle and buzz can be solved with some FatMat or the like, cut into pieces and applied to the shelf from the underside. Common problem and solvable. Dealer probably won't do it

My 5BW will freeze you out it you let it. 4BW did the same. In Texas, so it's not an easy job....time for your a/c check

The key for me would be warranty...these cars are off the charts for significant repairs. CPO is the only way I would buy ANY car, particularly Blackwings

For what it's worth Fantom Works in Virginia put an LT4 in a '69 Chevelle. It took major revision of the front frame as that engine is huge in length and width but it did work and sound fantastic. They got the engine as a crate sale, so I would guess it is obtainable.

All seasons in correct sizes for 5BW! 50 mileage warranty, 186 mph rated. So inexpensive they're probably Chinese, but available at Discount for around 700 for all 4...anyone heard of these??

I had a 911 GTS and sold it, eventually to get the 5BW. The Porsche was too loud, too low, and too limited for daily use.

Do I use the flat 6mm spacers or the ones with the raised lip in the center edge? Even the flat ones are available hubcentric, but is the wheel hub long/tall enough not to need the raised lip?

The extenders, not the dead-end silencer, are on ebay and amazon....don't know about the silencers...

Another question: for OE wheels do the spacers need the raised bore rim, or can they be completely flat? I'm thinking 6mm spacers...
