Default in preparation for the arrival, what do you suggest for an 18x8.5,+38 wheel..?

oem tire size.
or
would i be better off with a little wider tire, maybe 245/40r18?

thanks, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

245s will be pretty agressive on an 8.5" ET38, you may encounter rubbing

Default If we did the initial chip, there's no labor on installation or reinstallation

If we've a customer coming to us with a chip that needs flashed back on, or upgraded, there's a one-time labor fee involved, and once that's paid, you'll never see a charge again for reflashing, updating, or upgrading software. Unless of course you want to add more programs/options.


There are some shops that charge labor for original installation, and every reflash, but to me, that's just crazy... you plug up, and walk away and let it do it's thing. The older ones I could understand, back when we had to physically pull the ECU, but that's a thing of the past

Default Here in NJ, I charge a 1/2 hour of labor for reflashes.

For the initial flash, its the price of the software only, no labor charge. Your local shop may differ.
