What did you do to your B5 today?
OK now this is just getting ridiculous. Just got back from Goodyear, they told me that 17" wheels weren't available from the factory in 2001, wouldn't even put it on a rack because it wasn't OEM. Said switching to back to "factory" 16" wheels will fix all my problems. ******* idiots.
He also said the tires I was running were too wide for those wheels, can I get an opinion on this? 17" x7.5 et 43 wrapped in 225/45. Sounds right to me?
Sport suspension is totally stock, no spacers.
I'm gonna need new tires by the fall anyway, so I think what I'm going to do is pick up a spare set of cheap wheels, throw some all-seasons on them and run them over the winter, then send the celebrations off to get straightened and re-finished. This **** is getting absurd now....
FWIW, I just checked tire rack and according to their info, 225/45-17 is the proper size. I are confuzed

Agreed also.
I used my B5 today as a road-debris-clearing device on the highway. Apparently in the inbred-retard world, all the cool kids put random loose **** in the back of their Ford trucks and then drop the tailgate before hitting the highway. One such piece fell out of the one in front of me, leaving me no time to avoid it. Crunched whatever it was with the right front tire, damaging the paint on my chin spoiler in the process. I now have a nice 3" by 12" shredding of the paint off the chin. Looks like I get to have lots of fun repainting that. I'd like to taint-kick the dumb **** in the truck. It doesn't take a lot of mental gymnastics to realize that unsecured **** in the back of an open-bed pickup tends to fall the **** out.
With this level of brain-death careening around on the roads, I sometimes wonder why I bother to try and keep a nice car in good shape.

^ That's just sad!
Had a 2.5" custom exhaust built today using my existing Magnaflow resonator and muffler combo, after having installed a Milltek 2.5" downpipe yesterday.
As you can imagine that means I was driving around open downpipe... And got video...
