    The database is up and running! Please stop by and check it out, feel free to add your own custom wheel and tire combos.

    The wheel and tire database is now part of the Maverick/Comet Garage. When adding/updating a garage entry you can enter your wheel and tire combos.

    oh, and perhaps ad a check box for rear tires where it'd auto copy/paste front wheell info to rear tire section if people are running same tire all around.

    wasnt sure myself so i didnt enter it as i dont know the bs for a 5 or 6 wide 14 rim" rim

    but dont think it's matter much unless its a narrow rim with little bs like 2.5 or really wide rim where BS is critical..

    Each entry is unique. So you could actually make 500 copies of the same thing, they will still show up as individual entries.

    I started with that in mind, but I wanted to get it up and running before trying to figure that part out. It is on my to-do list.(y)

    Im not sure why that is, maybe it takes sometime before the database actual inserts the entry on a field by field bases... for the next person that happens to, wait a couple minutes and see if it shows up before trying to edit the entry.

    Rusty, GREAT JOB! I am going to hold off posting mine until I get the new magnums on it in a week or two. I was hoping that the people that post links would post a side profile of their car so you can get an idea of how the car sits and looks with a particular combo of wheel and tire diameters. So far looks like thats not happenning though. The pics of how close the wheels come to the springs and the fenders are helpful.

    Thanks!

    Good point on the side profile, hopefully people can start doing that, or at-least add another link for a side shot. No worries though, i'm sure it will take some time to get it just the way we want. Users can always go back and add links. :thumbs2:

    It's weird because i only submitted one entry, which was 8. Then i edited number 8 and it looked good. But now a number 9 popped up out of no where, and I didnt submit it.
