Aggressive Wheels and Stretched Tires....Welcome
03-22-2011, 08:06 PM
Sup fellas. The car was down over winter so I haven't been posting much. I finally got around to dropping it off at UpRev to have the turbo piping redone, oil cooler installed, wastegate relocated, braided lines installed, new radiator and a few other things. Royal_T and I went up to the shop a couple weeks ago to see the progress.
Sucks to roll hard!

you guys know whats funny, is if you go to thru the first 1-15 pages of this thread people were hating on it...now the same people that were hating on it are into it now, I think most follow the masses just like street racing then drifting now hella flush,I wonder whats next??not much left now lol, I think the set up looks great but as another member said it seems to be getting watered down : (

so nitto's are not great for stretch setups. the sidewall is to stiff and doesnt lend well to a cheetah for mounting. im switching out to the falken fk452 because i was told the sidewall is softer and works well for the application. also going with a 275 over the 265 this round.
so HOPEFULLY pics of them mounted and ON the car next week.

^^You'll rub in the front for sure and I suggest you not to turn the wheel all the way while driving or doing a U turn or your fender will cave in.. As for the rears your rims will guarantee kiss the fender going over dips.. I had that problem before till I flared my fender then that problem went away for me.

Boi! Car may look like it will but it wont. Believe me mine its crazier than that.
Remember the car raises as you turn, meaning the front will raise before it hits the fender...
Edit: Look at my pics for example. if he rubs/damage his fenders. i should have none
In this picture if I pass that point to the right some more my front end will raise. At this point it will not rub at all. neither do i rub before. Funny thing is i rub going straight right where the fender meets the bumper not turning lol. but is a minor rub nothing noticeable/

I'm thinking if i use the very edge of my fender roller I might be able to get a pull like that?
