There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

There are some who have done it. In fact when I was in Daytona, a guy came over to me and handed me a brochure for 18" rims they could put on the Spyder.
He was also kind enough to tell me about an issue that some of the Spyders had after putting the 18" wheels on them. He said once they hit about 40 mph, the computer would start flaking out and scrolling different error messages. I have a feeling this is all tied to the speed sensors, and they are getting thrown out of sync with large front tires and a stock rear not turning at the same rate of speed. The Nanny most likely thinks they are losing traction at that point, since the rear is moving faster than the fronts.
He did not specify whether it was one model having more troubles than another, such as the SE5 versus the SM5, though.
I think there may be a couple of people on here that have larger wheels, and hopefully they will chime in as well. I know there was a post a while back on wheel adapters, but cannot remember what the outcome was. You may want to search for that.
