Will this half inch noticeably affect the car? Will I lose a lot of traction, I will be running the same size tires 245/45 x 17 as on my factory rims. Thanks for any input. ]]> Wheels and tires johni53 http://www.gtoforum.com/f40/narrower-rims-28760/ http://www.gtoforum.com/f40/will-275-40-17-nt05-fit-my-05-gto-28725/ Tue, 31 Aug 2010 16:34:56 GMT Anyone knows FOR SURE if NT05 275/40/17 will fit my 05 GTO without cutting or moddifing? I am considering buying these NT05 over NITTO 555R Drag Radials but if i have to cut anything, i will just get nittos since they will fit just fine. Any one know for sure?

I was looking at one of those portable garages today, heavy canvas with pole construction, no floor.
To simply store the car, thinking about laying down a heavy plastic floor, jacking up the car, pulling wheels & bagging the discs/hubs with plastic.
this is simply for winter storing & leaving the car alone for the winter.
Adding fuel stablizer, some kind of pest detterent inside,
I'd prefer temperature regulated, secure storage but, it just isn;t available.
I have a huge yard, so the car would be secure,behind my already full garage
Thoughts, other things i should do? ]]> Wheels and tires roy http://www.gtoforum.com/f40/winter-storing-goat-28561/ http://www.gtoforum.com/f40/front-tires-wearing-weird-why-28520/ Wed, 18 Aug 2010 15:10:06 GMT So I have 62k on my 04.

Just got tires in April for inspection, replaced a bad tie rod, and took to the shop to have an alignement done.

Car drive straight, no weird vibrations, and steering is tight(as good as it can be with stock bushings).

My front tires are wearing really bad on the edges... outside and inside. More on the outside though so I'm guessing my RR bushings are most likely causing that? I checked my tire PSI and they are at 32... so not that low. I slightly over filled the tires with air to compensate a tad while I figure it out. Don't wanna shell out all that for new tires before the problem is fixed. I have a set of all seasons in the garage on spare wheels if needed in a pinch too.

I haven't gone under the car to look at anything but is there anything specific that would cause this kinda wear? I have never done anything with suspension really so I'm a noob. ]]> Wheels and tires jpalamar http://www.gtoforum.com/f40/front-tires-wearing-weird-why-28520/ http://www.gtoforum.com/f40/opinion-new-tires-28471/ Sat, 14 Aug 2010 16:02:56 GMT I've started to look at new tires; I currently have almost 21K on the OEM bridgestones.
