Still waiting on pics B! Whats up? you turned into a tease?

 

Dude. Borrow a camera. i want to see those wheels. Send a link! Do something!
Please?

 

My computer got a virus And for some reason my SD card reader doesnt work, Ill get to my buddys house and Load the pics this weekend, I got some video off hockenheim Ring too Ill see if I can get that loaded. Sorry guys

 

my finger is hovering over the ban button....

 

sorry for the crappy pics the weather has been ruff but I tried to brighten them a bit, 2 pics of the damage done to the tires too

 

Roll, stretch, SLAM. Do it.

 

yeah you def need to roll your fenders, whats the width and offset on those? looks like not enough - offset for sure, that or the wheels are just that damn wide you couldn't afford any more - offset.

 

Those look like the 17x9.5 -19 Rota RB's in the rear, not sure about the fronts, maybe 17x9's -13?... I was thinking about going with those, but I'm going wider nice wheels though!

 

Ok yea those are the RB's 17x9.5 with the 16x8 in the front. Alll the offsets are fine I just had to roll the Iner lip if the rear quater pannel in, and I did that already. As far as the fronts go I got a 205 40 streched on the rim I will just buy a little bigger tire for the front next time, I cant drop it anymore Its only about 2 inches at the front end and here in germany there is to much to bottom out on. THough I should be state side again in Jan. The good news is with this offset of wheels I got my Power steering feels great It gets side ways like a champ at hockenheimring and I can esaly controll it coming out so Im happy! Just want at little biger tire next time fore the front.

Im going to hockenheim ring today Ill get some pics of the madness out there.

 

i dont see why people stretch their tire. so many wrongs in doing it.

 

It's been gone over time and time again, yet people STILL bring up that debate...

 

what debate?

 

why people stretch tires, and why they shouldn't do it. Every time I search for wheel fitment on the internet and come across a discussion board, there's the same argument.

 

i think he did it on tire option, how many people do you think make a 16X9 tire available? he said he would go bigger next time so i think thats just my take on it, of coarse thats also why you should just went 17 all around and not "staggard" it, that is a look i don't get lol. to each his own though

 

i wasnt asking why, i was stating a fact because it truly serves no purpose. con > pro

 

they say a wider rim than tire makes for a stiffer ride but i would think that would mean your riding on the rim i guess if the side wall is streched tight it would be stiffer mabe

theres also that whole fitting a larger wheel in a smaller fender thing...

what are the wrongs?

 

apparently their are discussion boards everywhere that are on this topic >_<

This is UNSAFE and can cause tire failure (either a blowout, or the tire popping the bead on the rim)
stress and heat can build up in the tire sidewall, which can lead to the failure of the tire. also a good way to damage a new rim

 

ouch, i guess the next big thing will be tires with sidewalls that can withstand the pressure...

 

I am pretty sure that blowout is NOT because of stretch. I have been running stretch on all my wheels for years and have never had something happen do to stretch. KTHANKS.

 

just saying **** happens when things are done improperly.

 

For all you stretch haters out there lol

that's a 10" wide wheel with a 175 40R 14 tire on it

 

 

SoCal-s130 show them the pic of the old wheels you had on there...
