How do you feel about a wheel & tire subforum?

Let's hear it, StangNet! Cast a vote and chime in as to the reason behind your vote.

No way to many subforums already.

Instead get rid of "sound and shine" and "moving pictures"

Gearbanger 101 · Aug 15, 2006

If it will keep all of the stupid assed wheel and tire questions out of regular tech, I'm all for it. You might consider an "Exhaust" forum while you're at it too Tim.

myponyrocks · Aug 15, 2006

make an exhaust forum and a wheel forum, post stickies to every post ever about it, then lock the damn thing.... actually I don't care

merc123 · Aug 15, 2006

and gear forum....

Kilgore Trout · Aug 15, 2006

Let's have a subforum designed for threads about the creation of new subforums

DocG · Aug 15, 2006

Way I look at it.....4.6 Talk was for talking about various non-tech mustang issues....including wheels/tires....gears....exhaust....whatever. I know we all get tired of seeing the same old questions, but this forum doesn't exist just so a small group of regulars can only learn new things, but for us to school some newbies as well. Easier to have it all in one place. Just my .02.

I feel like the forums are a little too chopped up as it is. And face it, we have the Moving Pictures forum yet everyone posts their videos in 4.6 Talk. I think if we had a Wheel/Tire subforum, the same thing would occur, or we will get a lot of double posting

.....this is a case for more consistent moderation of the forums, not because they're too chopped up. People should know exactly where to look to answer their questions, not have do a 10-second search just to lose patience and post up a question in the general tech section that's been asked 100-times before.

Tim....take a look over at www.tccoa.com at their forum and sub forum structure. It's been working pretty well over there for them. Maybe taking a few cues from their set up might not be a bad thing. It will require a few more moderators though, to keep questions where they should be.

I'm listening.
These threads are spread about the site and there is good feedback coming in.

Stang|ess · Aug 15, 2006

how many wheels threads can there be to warrant their own subforum? I don't mind either way, but that section is gonna be like the svt section, dead.

oh yeah, if I get 18" wheels in the back, what gears should I get to offwset the added weight? and will a 245 tire be too small for a 10" width?

where can I get a catback to make my car sound like a ferrari?

thats true. I'm not sure how I feel about a wheel/tire specific forum though, like Stang|ess said, it may just end up dead like the SVT forums.

68torinogt · Aug 15, 2006

there seems to be alot of wheel tire questions i vote yes

Mustang5L5 · Aug 15, 2006

I think it's need to be an entire MAIN forum.

It's a widely discussed topic. Maybe break down the different years in subforums inside the Main forum?

Stang|ess · Aug 15, 2006

what might be good is a General Mustang Tech section.

only bad thing is there would be massive amount of moving threads around until people get the hang of it. going to require more from the mods and admins. I'm willing to step up, and sacrafice my time, for the better good of stangnet. I love kids, animals, and especially women. its not what stangnet can do for you, but what can you do for stangnet? stang|ess for mod in 06

Number of different wheels x sizes x different body style x different tire manufacturers x size of tires available x color of cars = your answer

and if you want to get really picky, add in different brake kits and suspension mods (because both can affect the wheel you can run)

All 8 of you can get rowdy

Some of the other forums have seperate wheel/tire section but i kind of like it when people ask if 245/17's will fit a 10" wheel or is 315's are too wide to fit stock 8" wheels. I mainly only visit the 4.6 area and don't want to interact with other sections

Pennywise2 · Aug 16, 2006

I don't think this forum needs one.

BennyBlown2v · Aug 16, 2006

Bad idea - that is of course unless it is a subforum of the 4.6l section and not just a separate section. Then it's just a mediocre idea lol

I would like to have one on the site.

I do not feel this is a good idea.

I am impartial.
