    What's up everyone!?
    Just bought a 2018 rene 1.4turbo sport 4wd with the 6spd. So far I dig it. Next up the fun part... go up and then out a bit with wheels and see where that gets us.

    All you have to do is poke around a bit. There is a wealth of information here.

    For sure. I was on here reading up quite a bit before making my decision to go with this set up. Cheers!

    Hello and welcome fellow turbo/manual driver. One thing I didn't figure out for a while was the blank button on the key fob. You can make it work like a normal button and it pops the rear hatch. Hope to see what cool stuff you get up to.

    @Podestaj01 I don’t recommend following my tire choice though.. these wheel wells are waay to small- I have to hit the wells a third time with a grinder to eliminate the rubbing I’m getting while full turn forward or anything past 1/4 in reverse. just too damn busy to do it- my 3 yr old is quite the distraction!

    I am digging my 245/65R17's with 1 inch spacers. I do have the pinch weld mods and a lift and my tires do not rub.
    I don't think we can go any larger without rubbing at least a little bit.

    I don't believe that 4" will get you 30" without additional, heavy modifications.

    The spare is attached to the rear bumper on a swing arm. It doesn't touch the body at all.

    according to Avid, the radius expedition bumper weighs 190lbs. don’t think that includes the spare..
