Psshh no way we can go staggered. We need to rotate our wheels remember? Can't be too rice about it. Hell we might aswell just all run 16's so we can get some tire meat under there. Remember...lexus quality ride.

Haha too bad I lost my lexus ride the first like 4 days i had my car when I put wheels on.

I'm sorry, I didn't know I was in that section. I usually click on "New Posts" and read and then reply to anything that causes an opinion to flare up. I didn't look to see where I was reading it. I wouldn't normally visit that section.
For the guy that sarcastically but appropriately said we all should stick with 45 offsets. No I didn't say that and don't believe that. I do believe you should have fun. Get creative. But safety should always be a part of the decision. Safety for you and your passengers then for your car.

Again, I won't criticize anymore in this section.

I understand where your comming from, this is not for everyone so I don't try to push the style on people outside the VIP forums. You either accept it or you dont. Well to answer your question onto why I do it knowing its not safe. . .



You cant get fitment like that with regular sized tires. Im running wider widths on the front of my ride then most people run in the rear along with negative offsets front and back. The monster stretched tires are needed to make the wheels fit without looking out of place. Oh and please dont use the term rice, I get offended by that. Dub would be alittle less offensive

I mean if your going to call it something its not atleast be close. Although its no where near dub, its closer to that then it would be rice

I cant take all the credit, gotta give props to the body man for pulling the fenders and making them look stock, the suspension shop for helping me get extra camber and crappy NY streets for letting me experiment with new tire brands and sizes so frequently lol. Im in Staten island during the afternoon til about 7 then im usually in queens. Thanks
