Thanks guys. I was hoping to get more people that absolutely hated it. lol. There is actually a point to stretching tires (performance to ascetics) , but not the same for everyone. I can respect that not everyone likes it.

The wheels are 18x11 +22. I had them before I bought the SC so why not??

I was originally going to do 245's on them but I haven't rolled my fenders yet. I am going to go lower and go closer to static camber in the rear at least after I do a slight pull.

The K-Sports ride very nice! I have 7/5 spring rates I believe, they might be softer but they actually feel better than stock. I've ridden on allot of expensive coils and have not been impressed. Honestly I'm not shelling out the loot unless its for Bilstein, Koni's or something to that effect. Coils is the one thing Japan could stand to improve on in my opinion.

I've had K-sports on my S14 before they got popular and had no problem after they upgraded the oil seals. Going on 5 years now.

The S14 has a built SR, but Im pulling that for more displacement/ wider power band.

Im not big fan of stretch i prefer some meat on my tires but I'm not gonna come on here and straight up disrespect some guys car because its not my taste. I can respect the hard work and creativity another owner puts into his car. If everyone did the same exact thing to their cars it would make for a dull world. Good job man keep it up. I like the FR500 wheels to. Ive thought about buying a set of black chrome ones for mine.

First of all..............your s14 is sick and your Sc looks pretty good with the new wheels. Your new set up is definitely better than your old wheels. What color did you paint your wheels? looks like primer gray. good **** man!!!!

Stretched tires are not because you can't afford tires or need a cheap way to have low pro's, it's simply easier to break loose when your into drifting. So it's more for performance. However, I personally think stretched tires look great. Not tooooo much though.

Car looks great obeewon.

I'm not sure why, but your rim color reminded me of legos. Looks good though, but not really diggin the yellow on the high beams but looks ok on the corner lights.
