stretched tires on a dirty 250
 
Just got my fenders rolled and these tires mounted up and I'm loving it so much couldn't wait to snap pix. I can go a little wider tire in the back but I like how it looks for now.

The wheels are:

Linea Corse Lemans
19x8.5 +15/19x10 +20
Continental ExtremeContact DWS
215/35/19F 225/35/19R

Had to use a cheetah to fill the rears up with air.lol

You need a BIGGER REAR TIRE :D

What a joke.

dangy 02-26-10 02:52 PM

Curious...why such a big stretch if your not even slammed?

giantdefy 02-26-10 02:53 PM

That tire is not designed for that wheel, once the pressure goes low on your tires, theres a very good chance its coming off! Plus, it looks sooooo GHETO!

plex 02-26-10 02:55 PM

Bleh not feeling it, too much stretch in the rear...

6Sp33d 02-26-10 02:55 PM

thats what i thought, o well i can get it once i sell the old ones.

aliu603 02-26-10 03:05 PM

225 in the rear?!!? WTF...be safe don't be stupid. you can run at least a 245 on that if not a 255..

iRock 02-26-10 03:10 PM

Yea dude that doesent sound very safe... what made u pick the smalle tires?

aggarage 02-26-10 03:11 PM

I was planning on going with that offset, do you know if you can sqeeze a wider tire in the front? How much clearance do you have in the rears? Will a 255 fit? Also what is your drop is it on springs or coils?

llamaboiz 02-26-10 03:12 PM

ok truthfully, that 225 on 10's is really only for in 'show', not for a daily/wkend type use... i am all for vipstretch *a minority here* but not a show stretch on a daily... but hey, DOOOO EEEETTTTTTT!!!! :thumbup:

drftsoarer 02-26-10 03:18 PM

Wheels look good but why you chose that tire is what I dont get. The stretch I dont mind because obviously its purely for looks.

On a side note, does anyone have a pic of these on a SGM in HyperBlack?

dappy 02-26-10 03:21 PM

Rims and drop looks nice. However, the rears are overly stretched for a 10. You're putting your life and your passengers' life at risk, especially if you're planning on going to ski country. Try running 245 or 255s.

How's the cornering at high speeds?

DailyDrive 02-26-10 03:22 PM

it looks better if you really had a reason to do it, not just to do it... need more poke and droppage!! :D
