Please take a look at all of the 13 Pictures.
Picture 1.
1. Would you be able to tell of the stretch is stage 2 or 3?
2. Is there 225/25R18 in a Federal 595?
3. Will the Nexans 225/25R18 take a stage 2 or 3 stretch?
4. Does a stretch void the warranty?
5. Where can I get a stretch mount?
6. What is the width of the tread itself on a 225/25R18?
Picture 2.
1. This Vors TR4 looks like a polished version- is this wheel available?
2. The wheels in Picture 9 looks the closest to the wheel in Picture 2- it is the same wheel?
Picture 1. This is a 2021 lowered BRZ that belongs to a friend of mine that has the Vors TR4 18×9.5 +35 wheels on it. He is also running 225 / 35 /R18 tires. Would you be able to tell by “eye balling” it if the stretch is a stage 2 or a stage 3? I doubt if it is a stage 1.
After watching your video The Best and Worst Tires for Stretching on your site, I would like a set of the Federal 595 but I see that they only com in the 265/40ZR18… there is no choice for a 225/35ZR18.
So, it looks like either a set of the the Nexen SU1 215/35 ZR18s or a set of the Nexen NFera SU1 225/35ZR18. Will the Nexens be able to take a stage 2 or 3 stretch without a problem? Does a stretch void the warranty? Where can I get them mounted? Neither Les Schwab nor American Tire will stretch mount. And, what is the width of the tread that touches the ground on a 225/35ZR18?
The way that the BRZ is lowered with camber and caster out the window, it looks like tire wear not to mention handling would leave a lot to be desired. I don’t plan on lowering my FRS unless I can find a kit with dropped spindles.
Picture 2. He claims that these wheels are the Vors TR4 HyperBlack but when i compare it with picture 3 and 4, it does not look the same. It looks like a polished version.
Picture 3. This is the Vors TR4 18×9.5 +35 TR04189550035SF Silver with Machined Spoke Faces that I found here on your site… It does not look exactly like the wheel on the BRZ.
Picture 4. This is the Vors TR4 18×9.5 +35 Hyperblack TR04189550035HB that I found here on your site… It does not look exactly like the wheel on the BRZ.
Picture 5. This is my 2016 FR-S. sits level with 20mm spacers on the front and 30mm spacers on the rear so that the tread of the tire is flush with the side of the car front and rear- Picture 7 and Picture 8.
Picture 6. Using Adobe PhotoShop, this is a prototype of what a Vors TR4 18×9.5 wheel with a 225/35ZR18 would look like on my 2016 FR-S.
Picture 7
Picture 8
Picture 9. Using PhotoShop, I found this picture on your site and turned the left front wheel out so that I could get an idea of what the Vors TR4s and 225/35ZR18s would look like on a level stock ride. The wheels look like what is on the silver BRZ in picture 1.
Picture 10. I like the look of the stretch on this one, but the tire size I think is a 215/35 ZR18 if I am correct.
Picture 11. What this car would look like with the Vors TR4s on it.
Picture 12. Again, the stretch looks good
Picture 13. With Vors TR4s
The Motor Snorkel by US Carburetion, Inc is a slick devise for converting a gasoline powered generator to natural gas! These are two 4500W generators joined in parallel to generate 9000W.
Two 3/4” gas lines were installed under the house from the gas meter- one line at the back of the house to run the generators on a nice day and one line going to the garage to run the generators on a rainy day. The 3/4” gas noses are connected to the the shut off valves via a splitter and two 6’ hoses for the back yard and the addition of a 21’ hose to make it to the splitter in the garage. it takes no time to set up because all fittings are quick connect.
The Motor Snorkel was a snap to install as advertised, however, to reach the engine regulator(s) 14” inches of fuel hose was added with a double brass barb and the generator access door to the side of the engine had to be slightly modified.
According to instructions, the load blocks were set at full in, then 7 turns out for the natural gas. It took 2 pushes of each primer button and both generators started right up! US Carburetion’s support is top flight- they answered my questions every step along the way. Now the generators can be run indefinitely no matter how long the power outage. Good bye to gasoline and having to shut down to refill the gasoline tanks.
