What's up brother. I personally could have gone with a 275 wide tire on the rear and 265 wide tire on the front so clearance was not an issue but in all honesty i had my old rims and these tires for less than a year and i didn't feel like spending 800 or more on brand new tires so i just reused the old ones. Some people do this look because they are into the hellaflush scene and put wide wheels that would not normally fit (which is why they pull such crazy camber numbers) and they need more clearance. Another reason why people do it is for drifting. The side walls are stiffer because they are stretched.

It's not my choice in cars or rims, but the pics look great. I can imagine the work/hours it took to get there. Very nice job.

One question though. I see people with tires that are much narrower than the rim like in the pics you've posted.

What's the deal?

Is it a clearance issue to get the rims to fit?

I don't mean from a performance standpoint, but it seems as though they ran out of cash for a wider tire.

I don't mean to single you out, but since you posted pics that show what I've seen in my area I thought I'd ask.

You're almost there

It looks good, though.

Yeah i don't mind the hellaflush crowd as long as it isn't ridiculous camber where the wheels just look like they are hanging on by a thread lol but thank you very much bro :)

They stretch a smaller tire on a wider wheel to fit a smaller wheel well...then run negative camber to flush them out with the fender

I don't care for the hood, but aside from that, the car is gorgeous and the wheels just make it even better.

Thanks bro!
