Aggressive Wheels and Stretched Tires....Welcome
08-12-2011, 06:50 AM
ATX, damn...on my screen the wheel is 2 1/2" and the tire is only at 2", dunno the real life specs that works out to but looks like its going to be some serious stretching going on. hope the finish goes unharmed when mounting, looks so good. GL

How much space did your passenger seat lose? I've heard it's not that much, also I've heard you can only fit a petite chick in the passenger seat. I would appreciate your input

Lol yea, 235 on an 11" wheel. Thankfully, my boy Charles used his Cheetah and was able to get them on. It did take a few tries though.

tribal> yes the seat room is limited. My girlfriend is 5,6 and she fits comofortable. Id say under 6ft and under like 220ish would be ok. The leg room is terrible

I did my A-Arm cutout today! officially apart of the crew
Perfectly got rid of the huge bang that happened when I barely hit anything. Sounded like a war inside my car. Or like I was dropping weights. Credits go to royal_t!
Will post pictures soon.

im buying new tires real soon and have been thinking of adding 10mm spacers front and rear to my +12 TE's. right now my tire sizes are 245/35f and 275/35r. with about -2.8 front camber and -2.4 rear. im lowered all the way on hks III coils.
so basically im wondering how will 235/35f and 255/35r look? my wheels are 9.5/10.5 setup.
reading the specs on the tires off tirerack.com im seeing the difference in "section width" between what i have now and what im looking at. i just dont want them to be too stretched. to be honest the 245 fronts i have now seem perfect to me. but reading the specs the 235 is barely a change in width. from 9.6" to 9.5". my 275 rears seem not stretched enough and the 255 seems like itll provide that extra stretch. so my goal is just a little more "poke" with my wheels and skinnier tires to achieve that with 10mm spacers.
i thought id post here so maybe someone can give me some advice or maybe pictures of these sizes i mention on wheels? or recommend tires? im looking at re-11, ad08's and maybe s-04 pole positions. these are all pretty hard tires to im sure so i dunno if thats a problem. my current tire is toyo t1r. might go back to those in the new sizes to not sure.
anyways any advice or info would be appreciated.
also have to mention my coilovers now are pretty "bouncy" so im hoping this wont be a problem. i hit a huge bump once and i rubbed my passenger fender bad that it pushed the fender liner screw almost right through. so i dont know how worse this will be. i know im taking those screws out thats for sure. one on each side.
is performance gonna be completely out the window with this as well? i know with the 275 i have some grip with new tires. but 4.08 gears and 255's im thinking ill be spinning easier lol

I'm running MDU's without any rubbing anywhere... Are you using the spring bucket? That might be your problem.

It worked really well. I used a 2" hole saw bit. If you do this make you have a corded drill. It was difficult but worth it.

AVmagneticZ, rimtuck.com would be somewhat useful to you.

not sure what brand tires they have on those cars there but I have been fairly happy with falken fk452's but i have a very conservative stretch. going a little more stretch soon with the same brand tires to see how it works out.
Good luck.
