Originally, I was going to just use my H&R 15mm spacers, until I got one of the Pilot HPD wheels around a front Brembo caliper.

Yeah. This.
These wheels are pretty thiccc. Combine that with near zero backspacing, and that can lead to problems.
15mm spacers Do Not!!! allow for...

"Winter" wheels and tires.
Because Arctic and glacial Texas is buried under snow and ice for 3 months straight every year.
I want to give a shout out to @SeanMcc23 for giving me the idea to install Honda Pilot wheels in the first place. What's up, Sean!
Check out Sean's thread...
Hi Josh,
Thanks for posting these pages of the report! You didn't have to do that just for me. I appreciate it. Once I get around to dusting off the ole Windows 10 laptop I should have no problem opening the files from the Mishimoto site... just haven't done that yet.
Yeah, this is...
Yup,
The looks definitely change with different size tires.
Of course, to me, Sporky, a.k.a. "Mr. Unslammed", Thicc (with 2 Cs) tires always look way better than rubber bands. Thiccc (with 3 Cs) tires look even better to me, because, I dunno, the psychological peace of mind that comes with...
Tiresize.com is a good resource to get decent estimates on what different tire widths and diameters will do vs. your original tire size.

Here, I compare a generic 265/30 R19 tire to a 275/35 R19 tire.
Of course, different brand and model tires will be slightly...
No,
the car does not auto-calibrate speed for larger or smaller diameter tires.
You will have to use your phone's Guugle Maps or other GPS Nav in order to know your real speed at the car's indicated speed.
For an extreme example (and I doubt anyone else will go to this extreme),
With my...
Dang, brother, that is rough.
Potholes, maybe?
I watched the video 7 or 8 times. It looks like there was a patch of cracked asphalt that was also kind of a pothole in the first clip, that went under your front right wheel.
With all the shadows coming from the right side (West?) of the...
So...
These Atlas Force UHP tires, I take it, are UHP All Season / All Weather tires?
I live under a rock, or more like on top of one, to be more precise. I've never heard of Atlas Force.
New Up N Coming brand, perhaps, or just safe enough to get you through February?
Anyone know if there is a thread addressing the dash vibration issue? I know there is a project thread for deadening fender, body, and door noise. Badass thread. One of these days I'd like to open up my FL5 and sound deaden at least the floor. If I started there (the hard part), the rest...
I do too, kinda...
Except those things are pretty big, and most owners will likely never go near one, so I get it.
It is a high cost / low use (for most owners) item, and so I understand why manufacturers do not include one with the purchase of the vehicle.
In this case, though, it would...
What's up homes?
Car looking top notch, as always. Black and Red is the new ... Black?
So am I correct in assessing that you pulled off your Summer Toyo Proxes R888 tires, and installed some "Winter" tires on your badass red wheels?
... Because SoCal winters cold and icy?
I am in the...
Hi.
I checked found the Web Link at the top of your post (that was right under my nose, whoops).
So, I can download the Engineering Report, as well as other documents from the Mishimoto website, but I can't open them in my Android tablet.
Guess I gotta go find me a "Reader" app for this...
