i agree, but i don't want to be stuck on the side of the freeway w/ a hole in my tire lol

 

Why everyone needs rolled fenders :D

Finally got my other set of tire's to test fit. Ended up using the ones for the front on the rear so I need to yet get another set of tire's for the front...

 

FallonBMPTC - Thanks for running aggressive fitments...looks good. Glad to see someone else up here pushing the limits of wheel fitment.

 

ya those look good - love the fitment

 

Im not feeling it.......think it is just the thickness of the lip that is throwing it off in the picture,probably looks good in person,cameras are weird with pictures at times.

 

looks like there's a gab between the rim itself & when the rubber starts according to the pics - probably the camera tho

 

that is why I hate pictures of rims,the rims I got for the Yaris look like that in pictures but in person they look great.

 

its a scion.... not a vw. its from japan... ish. not europe. leave the poor thing alone. or try running proper wheels and tires and see how much more consistent the handling is in the bends. you would be amazed.

 

 

 

hella retarded if you ask me... but maybe im just old fashioned... always rather have a 205/50r15 on my civic and 86 as opposed to a 195/30r17 (if there is such a size) on a 17x8... just silly looking. oh and rides like crap and gives no feedback to speak of.

 

No such size and I have no idea what you're talking about, and my bf is a assistant manger at discount tire so I trust him with my car, let alone he's already had 2 of his own cars in magazine's.

 

must resist urge to care and fight back cause its pointless... ugh.

 

HellaFlush FTW.

Honestly that tire is probably in spec. Even the 215's on my 8in wide iForged is spec. Not really that aggressive of a stretch but still looks good none the less.

You talk aggressive.. 225's on a 10.. that's how the big boys do it.

 

Im actually going with a narrower tire in the rear more then likely because it rubs a bit, or we will shave down the spacers some. Maybe run more camber or all of the above. My bf run's 205/40/18s on a 9.5 on his S4 lol

 

will... it can be in spec all it likes... its still rides like crap and gives about as much warning as a brain hemorage before it gives up grip... its not that it looks stupid that bugs me (and make no mistake it does look stupid)... its that it is contrary to all wanted performance characteristics for this car.

 

I usually listen to Eric, not only a certified machanic but also tracks his car.

 

Im a girl, I don't track my car. And my bf has 380hp/367tq on his s4 running more stretch tires then I do so im not worried about anything. 225 on a 9.5 isn't anything and they are yokohama s drives that measure out to a 235. Car handles better then before anyway with the stance this wide. I think ill stick to listening to my bf and all the other people that like the look.

 

Thats cool... in the end, whether or not your happy is all that matters.

 

I'll be happy as soon as I buy those camber links from you CJ :D
