I agree mate, that looks tough as. Nice offset!!!

 

[GSRSOL]

fark me ... that looks mean

 

[90xsi]

omg thats tough as!!

 

[EVO-00X]

I dunno boys, it looks wierd because the tyres are too narrow for the rims Would be better with 8 or 8.5" rims IMO.

 

[EVOCPE]

Rob people throw smaller tyres on wider rims to make the rims curved to sit into the guards... just like this

 

[jase]

yeah it's a skid car hence the stretched tyres

oh fuck me. if 9.5 +15 fit, then 16x7 +15 shouldnt be an issue then right..?

i think you may need to roll your rear guards.... and your fronts....

 

[Jonson]

I think stretched tyres look ridiculous. The car looks tough, he would have had to do some guard rolling/flexing and plastic removal to make that fit.

you would need to run 155 wide tyres to get enough sgtretch on them i reckon

thats why i went 17s at 40 series rubber, looks tougher with meatier tyres IMO. but the drift boys like em stretched tyres.

Tough Indeed.
I like the airbrushed graphics on the side.
What's the point of having a wider rim with skinnier tyres though?
You're only going to get as much track as the tyre can accomodate right?

 

[peasoup]

I agree, stretched tyres look bloody stupid.

tru, but by the looks on how he is driving...... he doesnt want traction lol....

 

[jase]

They still give plenty of traction.

The car is built for drifting. And drift cars are built predominantly for looks - lets face it the whole sport is a "show off" sport.

It allows the car to be lower, track to be wider, without major body mods. Also allows the driver to often run a cheaper tyre (soft sidewall) and get less flex in the meantime.

Granted it's not used as much in other forms of motorsport, but it does have it's place.....

 

[EVO-00X]

Just dont hit a gutter when you're trying to park it lol

 

[jase]

Dunno about you but I've seen plenty of gutter rash on stock commodores/falcons/lancers/etc.

 

[EVO-00X]

lol... yes, and those people need to invest in a set of tyres with rim protection on them
Rim protection will do sweet fuk all for stretched tyres though... not that race cars need it.
