Whether you're curious about long-term ownership or are considering a Focus ST, this is what you need to know!

Переглядів 51814 днів тому
In this video, the boys and I attend an awesome Fall themed Subaru event! Of course, I took my 1995 Celica GT-Four which was a ton of fun. After the first meet and the awards and prizes were picked, we set off to cruise as a group to Hell Michigan. Overall we had a great day due to this great event. Can’t wait for next year!

      @tuscani915 Thats not true. You can see the spacer he is running is lug centric, and he is also using conical lugs(which are also lug centric). People always state or have this long drawn out debate about how dangerous it is to not be hub centric. There are thousands of cars that are not hub centric but come from the factory lug centric. If that were the case of lug centric being so dangerous, you would see astronomical amount of cases all over the net of people having failures. Check the off road community, and a lot of those guys run lug centric only with no issues. If you want to be absolutely safe, you could do both, lug and hub centric.
