Default I run spacers....

I have both 17x7.5 BBS RC (track) and 18x8.5 BBS CH (street). I have to run 15mm spacers with the RC's and 6mm spacers with the CH's. With this setup, there is only about 1mm to 2mm of space between the caliper and the wheel, so it is just about a perfect fit. I run 225 tires on both front setups.

If you figure out a way to make them white, please post it here.

Default Oil pressure source for gauge

I am in the middle of an oil pressure gauge installation, also.
I intend to use a mechanical gauge,(thus no sending unit to fit into the engine.)
Just above the oil cooler (boxy ,aluminum, just on top of the oil filter) is the electrical oil press sending unit that the ECU uses.
I plan to remove the stock unit ,put a VDO tee adapter in that same hole, and then the original sending unit in one side of the tee, and a copper tube in the other, that will lead to the gauge.
I'll post a report when Im through, in a week or so, I estimate, and let you know if it works or not.

Default I am actually doing oil temp, not pressure. I thought about that location, but

the oil cooler is there and I son't think I'll get the most accurate temp reading. I would like something closer to the turbo.

I'll keep you all posted on what I find.
