This is kind of a long shot, but I was wondering if there were any Minnesotans here that would be willing to help a guy out. I need to borrow 2 stock wheels with tires that have LOW miles on them for a couple weeks. I would be willing to put a deposit down, and possibly offer a small amount of cash to "rent" them. There will be less than 20-30 miles put on these tires and It WILL NOT be any sort of aggressive driving put on them.

I'm sure I sound like a tool but I thought I would try this here and see if someone here could help me.

My only extras I have are winters which need to be removed now since it is too warm to run them.

Talk to 4 years to supercharge...you might get lucky

visit www.mnrx8club.com to reach him or on here of course.

Otherwise u could always put a cheap pair of 17s on the front have the stock 18s on the back and you'd be good to go...check craigslist (in minneapolis/st paul region) for that

What's up TitaniumGT?

Can you enlighten us with your situation?

I do have a couple of stock rims that are a bit bruised.

I just put my full set of stock rims on today, been without the 8 for too long.

from what I understand 4.77 is the perfect ratio you can buy it from FEED or get the Kia one for cheap...but people have been hardening it with a cryo process.

You could go with a smaller tire/wheel package to accomplish the same thing.

Slick8 tried the Kia 4.77 rear end and it didn't fit
