Aggressive Wheels & Stretched Tires: Post 'Em Up! [[Some NSFW]]
04-06-2011, 04:49 PM
[QUOTE=The Stimulation;5794741]Not looking to start an argument, but people saying stretching tires is bad. So what about those that don't change their tires when they should? Or how about those that are speeding?
I've had three tires blow out/deflate on me because I've had low pressure, user error. Every single time I was on the freeway doing about 70 and I can tell you it's just like any other blowout, wheel hits the ground, car still rolling, pull over, change wheel. Only problem with cambered setups like mine, you'll more than likely get a bent wheel because of the weight more on one side of the wheel. $60 fix.

all those you mentioned are just as unsafe. which is why if a cop sees that and notices those problems they can issue you a citation for it because it is VERY unsafe. But hey, if you want to increase the problems then by all means go ahead, just stay away from me on the streets unless I have my camera out to take pics to post online of the failure.

as for the stance thing, I have no problem with stance. My problem is with stretched tires. It is very unsafe. and you wanting that look is fine if thats what you want, but you share the road with millions of other people, and if you want to make your car unsafe and more prone to the risk of a blowout which can cause accidents, then yeah...I have a problem with that. I know not everyone who stretches their tires will have a blowout or tire separation, but its a lot more likely to happen than if you just got tires that fit properly.

OK OK...
I have an update for teh G. All my parts finally came in and I've been putting her back together. I set her on the ground the other day and with current camber in the rear and SPC camber arms all the way positive on the front, I couldn't even move the car LOL.
So I'm in the process of removing the shim kit. And I have this dude coming out next tuesday to pull my fenders since SOMEBODY *cough*SHANE*cough* doesn't seem to want to make an extra $100 on top of the pull by coming to my house
I'm hoping to have everything dialed in by the end of next week so I can drop the car off at RnJ for my nismo sides to get installed.
