silly question, but isn't it a bit dangerous to stretch a tire like that?

What do you mean? All I will be doing to the fender is rolling. A slight pull if I have to but we are talking a few MM only to get the flange to clear.

They are still fairly hard to get. A lot of shops can't get them because there is no real distributor you can go through. I think tire rack only has the rights to the weds sports line, none of the others so that makes things difficult.

I am just happy because I doubt I will ever see anyone rocking my wheels

Thanks James! I might pull if necessary but it is last resort. My goal is to tuck them in under the stock fender

+1 to support the Vertex army soon enough! I had a kit and sold it because it was just going to sit around in my warehouse anyways. I have to pickup another one soon, I just don't know which to get: lip or full?!

I keep jumping back and forth haha.

Let's make this a little fun:

My wheel specs are as follows:

Front: 19x10
Rear: 19x11

Front Lip: 5"
Rear Lip: 5.5"

Can anyone figure out my offsets? I want to see who knows how to do their math

Not dangerous at all. It is very common in the Euro and VIP scenes. Infact, it is done in racing too to provide a greater contact patch.

A simple look at the Weds sizing chart can tell you the range of offsets - just need to know the Offset Type!

I love it!!!!!!!
