My 17" wheels have way more than a few millimeters of clearance. The front brakes have more clearance than the rear with my 703s. Without taking an actual measurement, I'd estimate 1/2"-3/4" clearance on both the front and back. Front caliper pic: Rear Caliper pic

If you aren't off-roading, then I would not put on the 18" Method wheels and WildPeaks. I have the Method 703 with the WildPeak AT4W in 255/80R17. Yes, my mileage has taken a hit (down 5-10%). Yes, the WildPeak tires are louder, but not significantly enough to be annoying. If anything, I'm...

I'm not sure why it's been suggested that 17" rims could be problematic. I've had less clearance between the rims and the brakes on other cars with OEM wheels. The front has more clearance than the rear, but the rear isn't exceptionally tight either. The easiest way for me to explain is that...

Thank you for the information. I didn't get that you were trying to emphasize that it's important to run the proper tire pressure to help prevent hydroplaning. I read the Purdue paper you referenced. The paper makes it clear that the equation is a simplified equation, so it does not take into...

Under real world testing, the hydroplaning performance of different tires run at the same pressure and load on the same vehicle will hydroplane at different speeds. I'm curious where you found that equation - can you share it?

I've got the AT4Ws on my LC (255/80R17) and they've done fine so far in the wet. But, the snow performance may be significantly worse than expected (but, maybe still better than non-3 peak rated tires?)

Checked the weight of the 703 with the 255/80R17 Falken and found that it weighed exactly 10 lbs more per wheel (84.8 lbs vs. 74.8 lbs on my scale.)

Yes. I almost picked up a set of the OverTrail rims to put on my LC. Went with Method 703 instead.

Surface rust after washing my car doesn't surprise me, but compare the difference between the pic of the rotor on my LC while I was washing it (after just a few minutes being wet) to what the rotor looked like on my RDX after being washed (with virtually no sign of rust). I've also added a...

I'm wondering if the squealing has something to do with the quality of the casting. My LC arrived with a significant amount of rust on the rotor. Like, so much rust I would've guessed the rotor had been on the LC for years! I've never seen a rotor flash rust as fast as these ones do. While...

Has anyone used the Carbonio no drill license plate mount for their LC? Or, on any other vehicle?

Where does the front license plate mount with the bull bar attached?

That's a new concept for me. But, it only shows the parallel and perpendicular components. The light incident would be oriented at every angle in between 0 and 90 degrees. Not mentioned in the figure, but something I think that might make a difference is the index of refraction for the glass.

Super nice dealership. They have two classic LCs on the floor that are worth checking out while you are there.

I read through the article and it does a nice job of simplifying the science behind polarization. A HUD takes advantage of the partial reflection of light by the windshield. Some of the light from the screen mounted in the dashboard is reflected off the windshield and back at the driver. The...

Just about perfect in terms of fit and poke.

It rides better on the roads with the stock tires. And, as ridiculous as this sounds, my wife actually likes it better with the 20" wheels (n). She's wrong, obviously. I'm not saying that's grounds for divorce, but it's gotta be close. :ROFLMAO:

Method 703 wheels, 17" +35, Gloss Titanium Falken WildPeak AT4W, LT255/80R17 (33") Currently running the new tires at 39 PSI per Falken's Tables The new wheel/tire combo gives me about 3/4" more clearance underneath than I had with the 265/60R20 tires. I bought a set of Toyota TPMS sensors and...
