Same goes with a smaller width, I'd go like 18x10 +5 on 245s right?

Just trying to gather my understanding of an offset calculator.
go with a smaller tire like a 215 or a 225 so that it will stretch that will give u the poke ur looking for.

I'd stretch a 205 and call it good. Or just go fenderless.

really?

because a wheel poking out of a tire really doesn't seem like the concept to me.

If what you're saying is true then putting on 215's on a 9" wide +50 wheel would be poke fitment...


There's more to achieving more poke in your fitment than simply running smaller tires....

I think it's just some confusion...

Stretching tires won't create more poke. Stretching tires and adding spacers will create more poke.

However, Munchy, keep in mind your wheel ~ fender clearance as I mentioned in my previous post.

they stretch tires to fit a larger wheel in the wheel well without the tires rubbing the fenders

^^^ why would you miss them, they are bigger now than they ever have been. Although I would prefer Nakai-san to be a little more selective in who he chooses to release the kits to, it seems that its becoming a trendy thing for rich celebrities to do now at least here in the US.

They have gotten a lot bigger, but at some point RWB lost their soul.

For example:

That happened the second somone took one to a hellaflush meet. now in my opinion RWB has become a way to fit rediculous wheels for bragging rights. personally I never thought it looked that great.

Thought I would pass this along for you aggressive wheel/tire guys since I have seen a couple of you run a similar setup. Posted a couple weeks ago, but may still have them. Hell of a deal.

If I get new wheels this season, they'll probably be square setup of VarrsToen's:

ES 1.1.1 18x10.5 +15
ES 1.1.2 19x11 +25 -> I think this would be awesome.
ES 3.3.1 18x10.5 +15
ES 3.3.2 19x10.5 +12

Someone convince me which one to get.
