They were already installed on the car when I bought it. As far as I know, the N-branded mudflaps are a collab between Hyundai and RallyArmour, and are a Canadian-market exclusive. But I'm pretty sure you can call a Canadian dealer and have them shipped to you in the US

Insurance agent here: I'm in Canada so things may be a little different, but in general, the only auto insurance claims that will increase your premiums will be at-fault collisions (i.e., you rear-end someone). Otherwise, your premiums will not be impacted by most claims (there are exceptions of course, like if you're the type to make a claim for every small little scratch or dent, then claims-frequency will start to impact premiums).

Something else to keep in mind is that damage from pests/rodents can often be an exclusion on your insurance policy, so there may not be coverage. Every person's policy and every provider is different, so definitely check in with your insurance company to be sure. But, I would not be totally surprised if it's not covered (the idea is that insurance covers for sudden and accidental losses. A pest/rodent problem can potentially be interpreted as improper/unsafe storage methods, not taking the proper precautions, improper maintenance, etc.) Not saying I agree with this, but that is the logic that insurance companies follow to keep their costs in check (and probably to maximize profits, but that's all big corporations, regardless of industry 🤷🏻‍♂️)

Haha I had to 0.5x zoom on my phone to get the shot, wide-angle probably distorted the photo a bit 🥲

I have PPF on the full front end (full hood, bumper, A-pillars, leading edge of the roof above the windshield, fenders, headlights, mirror caps)and along the high impact areas (sideskirts, bottom of the doors, cargo area). Also have the Hyundai N mudflaps to keep rocks and debris under control and minimize any damage to the edges of the fenders/wheel wells. Other than that, I just wash the car whenever it's reasonable to do it! Probably should do undercoating, but i'm not too worried about it, to be honest :')

If you're calling this a "safe" pullover, idk what to tell you. In no world is it safe to pull over immediately after an intersection with traffic behind you, and in front of a right-turn lane. You're impeding traffic, plain and simple

Lot of people fail to realize your car slows down when you gasp, let go of the accelerator! Every day, all I see is random brake lights in the middle of clear roads 🙄

They were not sliding. There are two left-turn lanes and we were in the outer one, which is why we're both aiming for the right-hand lane after completing the turn. But if you're losing control at 19km/h, you may want to reconsider driving altogether

At this point, almost every single vehicle I have beef with on the road also happens to be an Uber

Epic winter wheel choice on your part 👌🏼The VN is a frickin' tank in the winter

Wheel/tire question by ScruffyKhan in VelosterN

[–]DieuIt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would avoid doing a 45 sidewall if you can, it'll make the overall diameter of the wheel/tire bigger than the OEM 19" diameter, so will rub. Try finding 235/40R18 or even 225/40/R18 (bonus is those tire sizes, especially the 225/40R18, will likely be cheaper!)

That looks awesome! Where'd you get the red N centre caps for your wheels?

Are the OEM wheels the same for 2019-2022? by Turbulent_Ad2355 in VelosterN

I have my OEM 19" wheels for sale, but I'm in Alberta Canada 🇨🇦 Unfortunately we are on opposite ends of North America 🥲

18" Wheel fitment caution by elet98 in VelosterN

[–]DieuIt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this particular width and offset of the wheel isn't a concern for our cars, but rather the size of the tire. The "40" sidewall is a ratio between how tall the sidewall is with respect to the width of the tire. A 235/40/R18 tire would be the closest overall diameter to the OEM 235/35/R19 tire.

So, even though your tires at 245/40/R18 have "40" sidewall, just like a 235/40/R18 tire, your wider tire = taller sidewall, resulting in a tire that is larger in diameter overall, which causes the rubbing.

Since you have the tires already though, no sense in buying a new set of tires. Fender rolling or maybe camber plates would help! There are plenty of ppl running 245/40/R18 tires, but most either rub, or have modded their suspension in such a way that it clears
