That looks incredibly goofy like a hot wheels car. Also the rims are a staggered fitment they are incredibly wide like the front is a 10.5" and the rear is a 8.5" maybe a 9".

Not my style, but great to see ppl mod rx's thou....I'd for sure do a BBK such as Stoptech's bbk as that wheel/tire package adds quite a bit of static & rotational weight.

I don’t kno what u mean by static but the weight was incredibly increased, mileage went out the window as well.
what’s bbk?
this was 2010 and I had too much time and money lol I lived in Alberta and went through 3 sets before I smartened up and got 22z

BBK - Big Brake Kit, think Brembo calipers and big drilled rotors.

While that wheel style with 1.5" spacers aren't my cup of tea, I could see myself throwing a set of staggered non-spaced 24" Vossen or Forgiatos on an RX. Good to see the wheel well can take that large of a rim size without rolling the fenders.

24 are a waste of money imo when u pair them to rubber band type tires better watch out for pot holes lol also u right bbk should be used because when I would go at high speeds and then braked it seemed very unsafe

Static weight is the weight of the tire/wheel assembly by itself hence ''static'' & then you have rotational weight, which you'll see w/ additional stopping distances as well as slower acceleration. btw the front track on the awd's are .08'' wider then the rear track. Really no need for a staggered setup.....Stoptech offers a BBK (big brake kit) for the rx btw....

Good for you and your many "hose", if you need a car to get women you are going after the wrong type of girl. So you willingly were driving around in a vehicle that was unsafe when you are braking........

Yah actually I do i am 28 and have been happily married for 7 years seems you like vapid shallow women so you have fun with that.
Its simple physics and maths you increased tire height and diameter as well as rim size on top of that you changed the suspension geometry to push the suspension out an additional 1.5+ inches and put a bunch of extra strain on your balljoints and suspension components. Also the brakes on the RX suck with stock 18's I am 100% sure you almost crashed numerous times with that set up, when you were "driving at high speeds". On top of that you have no fender flares and kick rocks up at passing cars.
The fact your so happy with your negligence is alarming.
