that's it. i'm putting my summers back on. i hate my snow tires with a passion and it doesn't look like the white stuff is coming anytime soon. it's not *that* much effort to swap it back anyway haha.

so its coming up to the first of march, the weather doesnt seem to be getting any colder, just wetter. I think its time to put the rims back on!
Need to run a 15mm spacer (or at least keep around) on the fronts as i plan on doing the LS400 caliper swap this year... hope it fits!

^^ You can't go wrong by having one. With that said, I finally got one this year when I found a good one on sale.
Never had a wheel come off on me in the last 12 years. Everyone's all worried about getting torque right down to spec. While it'd be nice to get it bang-on, everything has a design factor/allowance built in. Buy one if it fits your budget.  | |

Found this torque wrench on sale at Canadian Tire. Looks to be pretty good, great reviews and all. Thought I'd share. http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/brows...p#BVQAWidgetID
