not thinking that a 235 on a 10 rim is very safe.

I wonder if the OP just sits back and laughs...has he even posted a response yet? Ever think that this setup was just a trial and error to see what it would look like, and to see what kind of response it would get?

I love the distinct cliques at war here...got the few hardcore "offset junkie" and "JDM gangsta fitment" faction on one side. On the other, the "rational folks don't do that" and "that isn't safe" group. It's the constant battle of defining what's cool and hip while not detracting or cheapening the beauty of a Z33. I love it!


ps. I liked the "smashed Hot WHeels" car analogy from early in the thread!

You left out the, "stock vs stock" group. Know anyone in that group?

+1 Traction > Baller offsets

I guess some guys (ricers, IMO) care more about style than performance. I would never consider putting a tire that is skinnier than stock at the rear wheel of a Z or G.

Its a bit too much for me looks wise.
And obviously performance goes out the window.
As long as the OP is happy.....that's all that matters...
