I might get criticized as being a little too picky but I matched up the logos on my front wheels to be the same as my rear wheels. You know so the 5 star wheels and logos match front to rear on the same sides. Anyway I went for a 15 mile ride today and when I got home and parked my car the wheels are all mis-matched again. I know I have the same size wheels and tires on the car. Why does this happen? It will drive me nuts (not a long ride...atleast 15 miles).

 

Um...

When turning one wheel turns less then the other. The inside wheel would spin less then the outside since the outside wheel has to travel a farther distance on the turn.

Also if you peel out a lot like me i know your rear wheels can spin independently of each other.

better luck next time.

 

ok, your being a little too picky.... sorry had to be said

 

Same thing with merry-go-rounds. The outside seats/animals travel much farther/faster since the circumference of the circle is larger for them and therefore go faster to make the same turn in the same amount of time the inside seats do.

your outside tires travel much farther in the turn and therefore get out of sink with the inside ones.

 

Just drive the route in reverse now

 

Here's what I do; just position the center caps the same relative to the valve stem. Then, they will be the same for each wheel, relative to that wheel. If you're **** and at a show or something, you can just jack up a corner real quick and rotate that wheel to get them all identical.

 

I'm pretty sure some Bentley and Roles Royce cars have centercaps that stay level to the ground even when moving so they can be read at all times.

 

 

here you go. Just pick up a set of these wheels and you won't have your problem anymore.

 

My son is a doctor, a clinical psychologist. I think I can get you a discount.

 

 

Best Thread Of The Year.

 

I'm hoping your joking

 

If it weren't for me, you people would have nothing to smile about!!!

 

or laugh at

 

This one went downhill quick.

 

At least i gave him the benefit of a doubt at first and explained it to him........

 

This is a joke thread right? They would have stayed the same if you drove it in a straight line only. Can you say 'differential'?

 

Might be neck and neck with "Central Coaster tried to kill me!"

Cant find it...Apparently CC was kidding around and told some guy his car would stop better with his braking system filled half and half with water and brake fluid.

The guy actually did it and took 'er for a spin


ill never forget that one.

 

Man, if this bothers you owning a corvette period is going to make you a real nut case with all the crap that goes wrong with these cars. WW
