Looks good but they must weigh a ton. Did you go with a thinner sidewall or is the total circumference(sp?) larger? How's that speedo calibration?

^^yeah I got a thin sidewall. I don't think the speedo was really affected, because I got a ticket a few weeks ago. The cop said I was going 66 in a 55, and I couldn't argue, cause thats what it said on my gauges too.

I didn't really feel a lose in pick up. I know it does take a little bit more time to stop, but nothing serious. Im still getting great gas mileage

The fronts must rub like a ****. I had to pick my front up just a little bit with 19's because on quick changes in the road it would rub the inner fender wells. That looks alot closer than mine.

Sorry, you can have all the opinion you want but there are rules to abide by and insulting members is not a right or a freedom, especially on a privately owned website;)

That was my first thought. I like it also. I just don't think it's worth all the rubbing

jealous of what? his awsome stopping power? I wouldn't personally go past 18s and a BBK would be in order first, I'm not gonna sacrifice my saftey to look cool. and the rubbing. why should you ruin a new a car for that? I'll make it clear, if he likes it he can do what he wants to his car, but I'm offering my opinion, and I would expect people to honestly critique my car, infact, I ask people before i get certain upgrades. I do not want to be labeled a ricer or anything related.

I rolled the fenders all the way around, except for the front driver and that's the only spot rubbing, so Im gonna pop that pimple today.

Sorry, offensive post deleted as well as quotes from it, Rick, Moderator


I knew it wouldn't even be an hour before the drama started. I hate when people talk reckless over the internet. If you want me shot, come get me! Im in Hampton, Va. Go ahead and put it in mapquest!

Its a shame you can't do anything w/o someone hating. I can take criticism, but that crossed the line. DAMN!

Absolutely, posting like that is grounds to find a new place to play if it continues;) Rick, Moderator

I think It looks good. What Wheels are those?? I like them. Don't worry about what others think. if you like it who cares what the rest say. I think your tC looks much better after you dropped it. Nice Ride

Im into the whole big bodies, big rim thing to, But IMO I don't think the rims go good with the car... Maybe with a nice body kit to make it look lower it will look better as of right now looks like it has big feet
