I know the bolt pattern is a 5x108mm what is the offset anyone know so I can look for that as well. Thanks for all the input. I live in Wisconsin and last year was okay with the wide tires on as long as there wasn't much snow, but a couple of times it was unsafe to be out and about. Hence...

Question about wheels for snow tires. I can't find any steel wheels, so what other cheap wheels could I get to mount snows on? I am looking for 16" I have 17" chromes with 255/45s. I would like 16's with 215/60's Any suggestions? Any other wheels from other cars fit? Cheap...

Okay, for us in the Great White North are there better springs to wrap around the sport shocks? Firmer ride with less drop? Lonnie

My speedometer seems to be off by quite a lot. I have 245/45 tires on stock 17" rims. According to the GPS the speedometer is off about 4 to 5 miles per hour slow. Is this common? Most car I have had the speedometers have been close especially with tires close to the recommended size...

Update on seat problem Well, I had the seat fixed at a dealer. The power seat module under the front seat was blown. The guy that worked on it said the problem was probably the handful of quarters he found on the seat track. He thought this over stressed the motor causing the module to fail...

My experience with the chrome wheels. I just bought the 02 LS. Needed tires and when I took it in for install 3 out of wheel center caps was broken. I got 4 new ones and replace them, the inside of the wheels are very corroded inside the wheels, in the center of the wheel. The corrosion is...

Question about the chrome on the back bumper and around the license plate. Can that simply be removed and have the area painted? I don't know enough about the LSE versions to know what they look like in comparison. Anyone have any direct comparison pictures?

Question about the wheel bearings? Where did you get the bearings? How hard is it to replace them?

Thanks Leo, That is what I thought, but wanted to know for sure. Lonnie

No seat joy Well I pulled my seat out yesterday (after disconnecting the battery) and took a look for lose wires, bad connectors, etc. No luck, I found one connector that looked like it might be lose, but re-connecting it didn't help. No wires that looked like they had gotten worn or...

Hey, a question about conversion from the non-sport transmission shifter to the SST. I have an 02 LS V8, can I put any year SST shifter in it or does the shifter have to come from a 00-02? Thanks, Lonnie 02 V8; 17" chrome wheels; White Chippewa Falls, WI

Hey Dude, I love the look of tips and I love your garage!! ;) Lonnie

SoonerLS, Thank for the info. I know about the seat mounted airbag, that why I didn't just start willy-nilly grabbing connectors. :) I plan to disconnect the battery and see if I can unbolt the seat and see what's up. Right now I working on the front left tie rod and putting in new...

gc, Thanks, haven't checked the connections yet, the seats all the way back and down. Works for me, but hard to see under. Next step is to disconnect the battery and take out the seat to check connections. Thanks again. Lonnie
