Who's rollin with taller rubber in the rear?
 
I will get pics of mine today after a wash, but wanted to put it out to see who rolls this style.
My rims are 18x9 Front 18x10 Rear. Front rubber is 225/45/18. Rear rubber is 235/50/18.
I love how it looks with the 50's in the rear. Meatier look to the rear.
Anybody else have taller rubber in the back?

235 on 11" how does that look meaty??? LOL
I'll wait for pics, unless that s typo!!
You could have just run a wider tire with a smaller series and look the same

235 on 11's... ?? =X

pythonjosh Aug 21, 2009 02:23 PM

tall and skinny doesn't look the same as short and fat.
with the 235's in the back, I'm thinkin of stretching the fronts to 215 or maybe even 205.
The backs can be stretched to 225 with a lil elbow grease. But I think I want to keep the tire heights.

My bad, my rears are 18x10 not 11.

I'm running 245/40/18 on the fronts, 255/45/18 on the rears. It doesn't look like much of a difference using a tire size calculator but IMO it stands out just a bit more when you see it in person. I'd like to run 265 on the rears but I don't know if that width will fit my stockies...

I had 245/45/18 on 18x10's once just to see how it would look and feel and I did not like it one bit, felt like they were gonna pop off

Where the pics at???

I'm running 285/35/19 KDW's on my Super Rozza 19x10 rears and IMO they're perfect.

Ok here are my pics finally.
rears are 235/50/18 on 18x10
fronts are 225/45/18 on 18x9
(yes I know I need to be lowered, work in progress)

ShanesG Aug 24, 2009 12:40 PM

Looks funny, JMO!

parhamm1 Aug 24, 2009 12:42 PM

DP FTW, but those wheels and tires need to go. I'm just not a fan.

Not to go off path here, but how do you like the grounding kit with your 6MT? I'm thinking about going the same route, but didn't know if it made any difference on a MT car...

jimmyc13 Aug 24, 2009 12:51 PM

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the stretched look AT ALL.

I really don't know why you would want to go so skinny. Its not like you are running very wide wheels or very aggressive offsets which require you to stretch.

I like the look. The thinner tread width makes drifting easier.
The 5mm higher rears have also raised the rear a little bit but enough to notice when I'm getting in and out of my apartment's garage (sidewalk is steep). But that will all change when I drop it on Teins.
I like the look of having bigger rubber in the back. You only see width at one angle, and you only see height at the other angle. If you have differing measurements in both dimensions.
The difference is noticed all around.
