To be honest, I assume everyone on here that has signed up in the last 8 months or so comes from civics or poorly modified cars. Judging by their silly questions and lack of general knowledge.

But yes, I am quite negative.

Even if they're too lazy to search, ask these questions in the "questions about wheels and tires" thread, not a new thread for everyone who wants to put fat tires on small wheels.

UPDATE:

Update.. Got the car up and running with 275 35 on the oem 19 inch rays on the rears. So far it runs pretty smooth without any trouble..

took the pics with my phone so its not the best quality..



How is the ride. Any Issues.. I'm planning on getting this size tired.

I got 2 questions about this topic. How will VDC be able to tell how wide the tire is, if the overall height is the same? Second I ran a 20x8.5 with a 275 for years. It was on my 71 GT Torino i had, granted they werent lo pro tires by any means it was a 275/40/20 to get as close to a 28x10.5 tire as I could. No issues. People are streching tires which seems worse of an idea then a a 275 JMO though

I wonder how loose the rear end must feel in a turn. Then again, stock suspension probably masks it.

Is stock suspension really that bad?

I was referring to the oversized tire and how the wheel will essentially float on the tire. However, this effect may or may no be noticeable on a stock setup.
