I got some H&R 20mm spacers in my garage. There was slight rubbing when going over bumps but nothing I was really concerned with.

I had 5mm front and 20 rear. If I had a Max again, I would go 15mm rear.

Check the quality of your sources... (and last time I checked, you don't live in the UK)

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/learnt

EDIT: "chiefly British past and past participle of learn"

But, I never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers. In this case, if enough people say it incorrectly, the word will eventually be added to the dictionary / become acceptable [in the US]. "Tyre" never really caught on, but you probably still use it anyway, right?

My pet peeve being "should of" instead of should've or "would of" instead of would've.

Learnt is actually a past tense of the verb learn in the British dictionary.

Well, if you spell the word wrong then yeah, they won't be able to find it. Way to bash even though you can't spell the word you're trying to prove doesn't exist.



Way to go, champ. Learnt is a word, you guys are ridiculous, end debate :P

Looks better. Chrome wasn't the bad thing as far as looks just the design maybe for 2011 was dated imo.

Just be careful with your new speed lol

First of all..anyone who uses wiktionary, wikipedia, or wikianswers for this kind of response is an idiot. Anyone can put any type of information up there which is hardly ever verified or reviewed by educated peers in the area of expertise.

Second, depends no who you ask and where. Learned is typical of American English, whereas, learnt is more common in non-American English.

Did you learn something?

Who says I am spreading false information? You are the one using cr*ppy reference (wiktionary).

Are you serious?

First of all with your ridiculous ASSumptions, you only negated one of my reference, and the second one is dictionary.com. If you'd like I'd take a picture of my websters dictionary but found it to be a little bit too cumbersome. Wikipedia has been proven to be more accurate than the encyclopedia britannica. Colleges and Universities now allow students to use it as research help? All changes in wikipedia have to be revised or approved by an editor.

http://news.cnet.com/2100-1038_3-5997332.html

And depends who you ask and where? Just because one thing is in disuse doesn't make another wrong. Or do you think it is wrong for someone to use Soda in the midwest and pop on the eastcoast too?

You should just concede to your ignorance, say "ok. i guess, i was wrong" instead of trying to justify a factually wrong statement.

Oh and because this keeps going I checked the Websters Dictionary my Mother has and Learnt is in there. No it's not a "Canadian Edition" (before you ask )

I still like Rods car.

For me, it's a toss up between Merlot & Polished Ti re: coolest colors.

But that's just me and I'm 50% biased.

Do your tires have a lip on them to help prevent curbrash? I would hate to see those scratched by the curb!

I be very careful, but wife drives sometimes and the limo tint in the front also doesn't help the situation, but so far so good...

Much, much better. Gun metal on Merlot is a great mix. I'm really wondering what those would look like in 19"s. They're a clean looking wheel.
