I have probably wasted around $2k on aftermarket low profile rims & tires. The dealer was being real picky about making sure that the rear rims & tires were exactly the right size & offset. This gave me a false sense of security because when I found out what he did to make rims fit the front, I was seriously pissed off. Instead of using the OEM size of 6" wide, he used 7". This put an extra 1/2" on either side. Since the OEM configuration on many DeLoreans has the tire rub the sway bar (mine is no exception), it was even worse with the wider rims. Only in my case, it was the metal part of the rim that rubbed the sway bar and not the rubber tire. This severely restricted my turning radius forcing me to make 3 point turns where I could otherwise have just made a U-turn. If I kept it up, I was worried that this might score the sway bar enough for it to break. Rob Grady told me that he had only heard of one case of a sway bar breaking before. This was while the car was still under the original manufacture's warranty. Luckily the guy was only going around 5mph, but it still almost made him eat a curb. At higher speed, it would probably be worse than a trailing arm bolt breaking. Besides the trouble I was having with swaybar scraping and reduced turning radius, I was also having some weird vibrations at highway speeds. Having someone follow me and watch the front end confirmed that a front tire was shaking sideways as though it would pivot if I were shaking the steering wheel (rather than the wheel bouncing up & down like a balance problem). I got home and checked my lug nuts. One was loose and off-center. I took the wheel off and checked everything out. When I try to put the wheel back on the hub, I realize that the lugs don't line up properly with the holes in the rim. Each hole was around 1 to 2mm off spec. I know that the DeLorean takes a 4 on 100 spacing (that's 4 bolts on a 100mm diameter circle), but it was anyone's best guess what these rims were drilled at because each hole was drilled at a random radius and degree position. It was as if the machinist drilled them with his eyes closed! Next, I took the rear wheels off. I found out that the spacer the dealer had made up was too thin to hold the lug nuts. The nuts stuck out from the spacer by about 0.5mm which was enough to put marks on the rims where the dealer torqued them down with an impact wrench. Then I learned for the first time that all DeLoreans came with 1/4" spacers on the rear hubs. Well, if the dealer had half a brain to notice this, then he could have made the adaptors deeper. I mentioned this to him, and he said that he saw this before but didn't want to bother with taking them off. There are two problems with this: 1) I didn't buy the style of rim I originally wanted because with the available offset and 'minimum' adaptor thickness requirements this rim would have stuck out 1/4" too far. However, the dealer never mentioned to me that the front rims were going to stick out 1/2" further on both sides of the rim! Gag! 2) Even with my second choice of style, the guy could have taken the spacer off and had all the room he needed to make his adapters deep enough. Other nice little facts that the dealer did not disclose to me: 1) He was re-drilling the front rims. 2) Re-drilling voids the manufacture's warranty. 3) the rear adaptors & rims were not mounted hubcentric. 4) Mounting the rims lugcentric (not hubcentric) also voids the manufacture's warranty. 5) I got screwed. Other stupid things the dealer did to my car: 1) jacked it up from the wrong points denting & cracking the epoxy on my frame. 2) tightened the lug nuts with an impact wrench way beyond the OEM spec of 60 ft-lbs torque. After that my car developed a pulsating brake problem. Hummm... I wonder why? The dealer took the front rims back to his machinist to have the lug holes re-drilled in the right locations. He even had me go across town with my car so that the machinist could indeed verify the proper lug spacing. They called me up a few days later to pick the rims up from the machine shop. This is something the dealer should have done, but I wanted to talk with the machinist about making a pair of wider hubcentric spacers for the rear. That was my official reason. Actually, I wanted to see for myself just what kind of idiots work in the back. When I went to pick them up, the machinist told me that he used an industrial form of JB-Weld (something that was much stronger than anyone could buy retail) to hold the steel inserts that line the lug holes. I thought, "Oh great, JB-Weld is holding my rims together." I get the rims home and try them on the car myself. To my amazement, the machinist did absolutely nothing to the rims except scratch them up a bit. The holes were still in their previous wrong locations with the same steel sleeves lining the holes. I got a screwdriver and hammer and drove the sleeves out of one of the rims, and (guess what) there was no trace of any JB-Weld type of substance under them. Likewise, there was no evidence that the rims had been re-drilled a second time. I could say a lot more, but I have already said too much. Let this be a lesson to the rest of you who try to find aftermarket rims to fit your DeLoreans. Walt Tampa, FL
