Super wide wheels are pretty much for bragging rights. The wider the wheel the higher it raises your car when you add negative camber. It doesn't always add more lip either. For me ~10 up front and ~11 in the rear is ideal for stretch and camber while keeping the car low. Props for fitting those on the stock body!

Less talk and more pics of13" on a stock body with a slight pull, slight camber, stretch and no Air, All coilovers. Now that that is out of way, enjoy the pics.. If you don't like it just kick rocks by hitting the back button.

Can we maybe go back to a somewhat mature forum?....just a thought. What's with telling people to F off? If pictures are posted, comments are going to be made. Plain and simple. Try to be a grown adult. If you like your car, great! If you post a pic of your car and someone says "that's not my style," well, its an internet forum.

This. Please post in a manner that won't break rules and offend people.

second who the hell are you guys to tell me what is safe and what is not, i built this car for me and iv been streching tires for longer then most of you have had your cars. iv been a member of this fourm for over five years built two sc's, im not here asking for acceptance or advice.
Sorry if you post pics on the internet of your car expect to receive negative and positive feedback, especially for something rather odd.

People are allowed to voice their opinions in any thread once it does not break rules.

Everyone be respectful or this thread gets shut down.

I think your car is hard as (edited stop cursing) nails and is sweet as hell to look at.

Dude I like the fact that you and others push the envelope. My only comment was that stretched is not too practical for those that are boosted and run the 1/4 or do highway pulls. I've seen stretched tires in drifting but I'm no drifter and guess that's fine. Anyway I ran 19x10.5+26 with 265's and was making around 400 at wheels with lsd,I punched it one night and car almost did a 90 degree on the hwy, the tire pressure was perfect and they were warm. As much as it looked nice it wasn't practical/safe for me. I mentioned running 18x11+42 with 305's which is more practical and safe for my setup and all of a sudden I hear it's ugly and hellatuck etc.. I realize it's 2 different worlds in regards to hellaflush vs normal fitment and I think both sides should respect the other

i do suspention for a living, in under an houre i can reset the camber and toe then slap my cheater sliks on. any one that knows me on a personal level here knows what i have up my sleeve.

i for one have never bashed some one on a forum, to me even if car is not build to my tast i can apriciate the time and effort takin to build a car.

Well said. Not many people think about the other perspective.
