i wanna be like you when i grow up, i can imagine something like this on my IP coupe. wow, how much for the set ?

 

thats gonna look sick! specially w/ lots of neg camber

one of my fav parts of the rears is how stretched the tire is

 

BTW are you coming to the lokey meet in sept?

 

lol, whatever you gotta do. I'm sure some mild bodykits will be a hair wider in the back, I didn't mean full blown ricer kit. It just looks weird with the rear tires past the fenderwell. The profile view looks great though, so I guess that's the only thing bothering me: it being past the fenderwell.

I guess it'll look a bit better if the fronts matched better. I still vote match the backs to teh front though.

Ok, I was just putting that out there. I don't want stuff breaking, and people dying, just to look good. I know engine stuff, not wheel/suspension, so my two cents is only worth one cent in this case. As long as you know what you're doing.

On that note, can you save me a google search and explain "stretched" tires? I thought it was just a slang term for very low profile, but apparently it's something real. What is it exactly? Like 18" tires on 19" rims, in theory?
<NVM, I googled it. Stretched tires don't seem as bad as my friend explained>

 

no, its using a tire thats bearly wide enough for the rim. like putting a 275 on a 11in rim

 

Yeah, I was told that this practice is dangerous. But, who am I to agree or disagree, I didn't even know what it was. According to my internet research, it's not as bad as I was told. I'd just be deathly afraid of potholes with that setup. Though, they're so wide, that most potholes would be too narrow anyway

In NJ, I have more problems with the "speedbumps" and ditches on the highway. They love to dig up a line crossing the road, then not fill it back in all the way. I forget the technical name for the speedbumps, where the roads expand and contract, causing a lifted fold section.
