Central NJ installer questions

[ad1978]

1. I have two small kids (3 and 6 yo), but still want that aggressive (not too aggressive) look but can't decide on whether 12mm or 15mm square wheel spacers. Any recommended installers in CNJ area??

2. I will need to get winter tires. Are Rial P10 blacks ok? Good quality? On Blizzaks. Likely get from tire rack. Also any recommended installers in CNJ area?

3. Any good tint shops in CNJ? How long does a tint job take? All windows except windshield?

i have 12.5mm spacers all around on my f80 (have two kids as well and this is my DD/dad car/fun car)..my family size didn't influence my decision for spacers tho

don't live on the eastcoast so can't recc a shop for anything you are looking for..we have coders out here that can code remote...if you wanna look into that...contact alex@alpine

1. Why would having kids affect your spacer decision?

2. Do some research here for what type of winter tire works well. This question has been covered many times.

3. Your regional forum would best know.

But thanks for the links and advice so far!!

Clearly you love your kids.

Don't worry your wheels won't fly off unless you do a poor job installing them.

If you're interested in 18x8 black rial p10s from tirerack they are currently on back order until mid January. I was going back and forth on them for quite awhile and ended up deciding to order one day too late. It seems like people here who have them are satisfied though. Im sure I will be when they finally come in.

I also have a set of blizzak lm-32s in my garage. Can't comment on them yet but I've read they are supposed to have superior snow performance but worse dry performance compared to the Michelin alpin performance snows. In my climate the michelins probably would have been better but the batch tirerack had was 3.5 years old already.

I have the black Rial P10s for my winter set - they look pretty decent actually.

1. If you can eat a jelly doughnut, you can "install" spacers yourself. Hell, you're 3 year old can put them on. It will be like building block toys You just have to remove the wheel for him.

3. Tint takes less than a day; half a day.
