Back with the 235/35's...great fit, just wish I didn't rub. Longer toe arms, alignment and possibly moar loe on monday.

 

where are you rubbing anyways?

 

 

No way to bang it out a little and get a couple more mm of clearance?

 

No possible way. Ask Monard (dranom). He worked on my fenders. Shane pulled it, then I needed more so when I was having Alex do the alignment he hammered the snot out of it, then did more with Monard when I got the new rears. There's no more give without cutting.

 

Shiiiit, time for a semi widebody

 

Semi? ehhhh...if i'm doing fender work, full widebody. I'll still run -5 camber or so but I'll be pushing out at least 12's in the rear.

 

If you do the doors I consider it full on widebody!

 

I prob would have to. But if i'm doing widebody i'm prob going 3" wider..maybe 4 if possible? Gotta look clean though. Radiusing fenders and whatnot

 

I thought you were gonna try the 245/30 achilles? why not try the 225/35 in the Hankooks to see if that 5mm helps with the rubbing?

 

Tried it, was too small. It mounted well on one side and wasn't even mounted on the other properly, about a half inch gap.

225/35 definitely wouldn't fit with the hankooks. The 235/35 fits snuggly and I don't think I can get an extra 5mm each way. It's cool though. I'll be adding more negative camber on monday. hopefully not too much.

 

Anyone ever heard of a tire brand called Forceum? Anyone have any experience with them?

 

^ I haven't but sounds like a damn good time

Hey Levon I thought people say that Hankooks bubble when stretched ? Are those just rumors or does it depend on the tire brand? What Hankook tire did you go with?

 

It's happened to me. I don't know if it has anything to do with where I got them mounted, the technique behind it, or when I put the wheels back on the car.

I have the V12's up front, 235/30 on a 10.5 and NO bubbling at all. In the rear a 235/35 (V4) and one from before, the other when I got the front tires. The most recent one was only put on the 11, while the other was on the 10.5 first and then on the 11. While on the 10.5 it bubbled. The one that was put on the 11 first didn't bubble at all.

The third possibility I mentioned may be the reason behind it. The shop I have been taking it to said to leave the wheel off for at least a day. Let it bake in the sun if possible. I'll be able to see if the most recent ones I got bubble or not.

I know the technique might be different between the two shops as well, because with the most current ones, they didn't use a cheetah and there wasn't a super loud pop when the tire sat properly.

 

^ Oh I c thanks looks dope but yea anytime I hear anybody talk about what tires not to stretch I always hear Hankooks among others so I was really mostly curious. Thanks for the insight. What made you get Hankooks if I may ask?
