    Help! Top not secure

    Just for reference, the following may help at some point in the future when someone is trying to solve top problems. I was working on my car and had the top down.

    19x8 wheels with +45 offset?

    Wheel Spacers I have 3/16ths front wheel spacers on my V (careful, I required longer studs-used racing rated studs because cost was minimal) to clear Bear calipers.

    I just had an evil thought that you lawyers out there might clear up. How does a bankrupt company have rights to material put out before the bankruptcy. The old GM does not exist any more. Any thoughts on this. Jack

    On Star Questions

    Lambo doors

    I know I'm setting myself up for trouble on this reply but your question was serious. I personally don't know about those doors or have an interest but my V is an everyday usage car.
