There's more then one "real" reason to get wider rims. I've been reading all your posts and you are really pushy man. Throwing "rice" at 19x9+3 225/35/19 , **** you dude.

But its not "his take." Theres a HUGE difference between saying "I think you are stupid" and saying "you are stupid."

Some people don't care about running wider tires, their main reason is to get more lip, or become flush with the fender.

Calling people's cars rice (ESPECIALLY a FATTY well done car) is ridiculous! It's ok to be conservative but to name call and speak your opinions matter of factly gets old FAST. The amount of work and extra effort that went into that car to get it to sit like that deserves respect. It pisses me off to see some dude with a bone stock + ebay tuner wheels GS slandering "rice" at someone with a built car. I though the "R" word burned out of here a while ago. The post was about aggressive offsets and some retard comes in here and starts throwing **** around.

And of course by bone stock you mean: SRT intake, ltune shocks/springs, TRD sways, TRD front stb, rear stb, TT BBK w/ Brembo rotors, and G35 wheels to clear it? Not that I had to list my mods as compared to many of the ballers we have on here.

And don't try to read around the context either. It wasn't aimed specifically at his car, but rather tire stretchers in general.

Im not feelin the super crazy offsets. That just means I wouldnt roll it on my car. What other people want is thier own right. I have alot of friends that think the LS460 is for geizers (my favorite car) and tell me all japanese cars are rice and that I should sell all four of my cars and buy one fox body mustang so I can race them. LOL

I would totally rock this car. I would swap out the teddy bear rims for the sunflower ones and add a flower vase in the dash though fa sho.
