    I already knew that the interior color palette for our cars are inspired by the views at GPS coordinates printed on the door sills ... so thought I'd take a drive from Southern California to the GPS coordinates for my cars Santa Cruz interior and this is what I saw: The trip...

    Wheel Spacers installed with 19” Aero Wheels

    Correct … thread engagement is important so the only time the factory studs can be used to secure both spacer and wheel is if the spacer is thin enough. A 20mm spacer is almost an inch thick so he’s probably using spacers similar to the ones you have linked. Also just fyi the backs of the...

    Wheel Spacers installed with 19” Aero Wheels

    In regards to alignment being needed when adding spacers … It is not because the suspension geometry remains the same before and after adding spacers. The geometry will however change if the car is lowered. Mostly added camber. Adding or reducing tire width also doesn’t change the suspensions...

    Should I order 5 or 7 seats?

    Are you planning to carry a floor jack with your spare? If so, a floor jack might not work very well on rough roads either so maybe think twice about carrying a spare?

    Miles/Kwh

    These hypermiling threads will start fading away in time ... after all, I don't really see any for the ICE versions of BMW, Porsche or MBZ. ;) If anything, we should be paying more attention to range when the battery is charged to 100%.
