This is a public forum and so people can read your posts and post their opinions. Oftentimes, many of us try to help others if we feel they're going to make a mistake, which is the case here. The size you're proposing to run is simply going to stick out way past the fenders. Rolling the fenders won't help, pulling the fenders won't help, nothing sort of cutting your fenders or a widebody kit is going to fit those wheels, and when you fit on such an offset you're going to be dealing with issues related to your scrub radius being WAY off what they were intended to be, not to mention bearing wear. If you can't take the opinion and observations of what a proposed setup is going to be, perhaps you shouldn't be posting on a public forum.

Oh, and there is absolutely no advantage in performance to stretching your tires to that extent. Having a bit more wheel width for a given tire width helps in responsiveness, but going past the manufacturer's recommended wheel width range is a possible recipe for disaster as the stresses on the sidewalls can go past what the tire is designed for and then you end up with a de-laminated tire. On the track, that's a huge safety issue.

Drifters started doing it because they're always going through tires and they had wide wheels, but ended up going through thinner tires for cost and availability reasons. It's not a performance thing.

 

stretched tires lower sidewall flex, I know a lot people people say you can play with tire pressures. But from experience, stretched is just smoother I have no idea how to explain this. We are not talking about the best setup for the car, we are not talking about grip here. We are talking about sliding.

If it doesn't help, then there is no reason why pro's sponsored by tire companies stretch their tires.

This is an old argument which I'm not going in to.

ahahahah iv been trying to avoid it lol

 

victoria, b.c., canada lol

 

tight, danks up there! lol

 

lol thats for sure. someone should photoshop the yellow ones on a dark 8

 

iv already put them on my car,

lol

but someone really should!

 

Pics?

 

The Orange ones would look pretty bad *** on a WB or Black 8. But the car needs to be slammed to pull it off.

 

why photoshop if you've already done it?

 

i didnt have a camera at the time when i put them on my car.

and the offset was +15 tho...


i like the orange ones too,

but i think i a black rx8 with the same rims but in a bright purple would look sooooo sick too! aahhaha

 

u put them on but took them off?
agreed on the blaack purple scheme!!!

 

yeah, they wernt mine, lol
i just wanted to see what they would look like.

i might do the purple. now too tho! ahahah

 

ya depending on what rims purple would be sweet.
how much did they stick out?

 

so who knows how to photoshop rims onto a car?

photoshop my car with the yellow rims on it!
