Strange, I'll have to look again, but I could have sworn the wheel was the same front and rear when I pulled them off. I thought only the tire was a different width.

yes identical wheels on all 4 corners. Typically all FWD cars use this platform, and I"m betting the Spark EV is staggered only as a bandaid to the additional weight in the back and still trying to achieve the best possible mileage. Wider tires in the front and rear would solve any handling...

sorry, yes they are 215 width tires. Wheels are 16x7 et45. The offset requires a 2mm spacer due to clearance with the caliper and the rim. No rubbing issues. I'm sure 205's wouldn't cause any clearance issues unless they were significantly taller than the stock tires.

The software is a lot like an ESC on a radio controlled car. You're correct, there is a max amperage level that the battery/motor can produce/recieve, but that's not what is happening. If it was, then you wouldn't have a larger surge of power at higher speed than at lower speed. They are...

Just thought I'd post this because I've also been contemplating different tires on the spark. Unlike some of you, I come from performance cars, so I already know how much of a difference tires play in performance and driving feel. So with that in mind I slapped on some of my spare tires/wheels...

That's because although the spark has 400ft lbs, the software dials it down. It's quite obvious when driving. I'd love to have performance software for the spark ev. Not only would it fix the annoying power reduction the stock software does when trying to do hard acceleration runs, but it...

Ok, sofar the fix seems to have worked. No issues with the heating and the temps have been down into the 20's. So this is what they replaced 176 WC 22851153 Heater Here's the notes: 878 Faulty Electronic Control Unit Hardware 11111.11 Verified. Customer concern and used GDS 2 and found...

No seats still work. BTW happened again today and car went into service. Heater unit is being replaced. Will pick it up tomorrow and hopefully that will be it for my heater issues.

Happened again in mine. Dealer was too booked up to look at it today. Will take it in next time. Car has 700 miles on it now, and it was 33deg outside when it happened. Was a rather cold ride to work this morning to say the least.

Not with mine. Mine was literally one minute the car was warm inside, and the next the wife and I noticed it was cold. Climate control showed 100% energy usage on the setting, Temp set at 74, fan was blowing, but nothing but cold air was coming out no matter what temp you set it to. Should...

Hi there, This morning I had a similar issue. The heater just stopped working. Oustide temp was 42 deg, and the car has 520miles on it. I'll check and see if it works once I restart it later today, but hopefully this won't be a lingering issue.
