[s-cars] RE: Wheels

[t44tq at mindspring.com]

Paul-
I use anti-seize on the hub mating surface between the
wheel and hub, light coating. Helps keep the wheels from
bonding to the hub.

One time, I had a flat w/ my snows mounted on my old 5ktq,
had to kick the wheel very hard, repeatedly, to break the
corrosion and free the wheel. Not good at all. Maybe I should
carry a dead-blow mallet with me along with the torque wrench
and breaker bar that I do already.

Red Loctite goes on the studs into the hub.

I use my lug bolts/nuts dry, no anti-seize at all.

So the big question is- will A8 forged wheels clear BIRA
S2UFO? Will I need a 15mm spacer? Where can I get a set for
a reasonable price (hopefully $200/wheel or less)?
