Yeah I am still scratching my head over it. I prefer more meat than rim and while I am very careful I will admit that tires have saved the edges of my rim on more than one occasion.

Same thing with running a 9.5 in the front over an 8, whats the point? a 9.5 cost more, weighs more, and without a doubt will hug every single rut in the road that you probably would not notice with an 8.

The thing that gets me is people run a stretched out tire and love the looks, then they also want to make your car faster and handle better. I bet the car would handle better on stock rubber than it does on stretched out tires.

The cost of and the rate that one would go through tires is one thing but there is also the safety concern. I bet that inside edge wears so fast you could easily catch a blow out while the outside tread looks nearly brand new.

Man those look really aggressive! Props for being able to pull off that stance.
What are the offsets? The rear looks like its +20 or lower

Looks awesome man. I really love the choice of wheels on your car. They look mean, I want some black wheel lips!

Hey just wondering do you know how much negative camber you're running in the rear? And did you shave off the bumper bracket? I just tried on some 15mm spacers on my rear Volks so it'd be +22, and I just bent my bumper bracket all funny going into a mini dip out of my parking spot. Oops

So sad . I was afraid that I had to do so. I don't want to be switching out tires now so I can try making it work or wait till my tires are bald.

what's your tire size? you can try and raise it up some more and run a little - camber if that doesn't bother you.
