I've seen fools put a 225 on a 9.5" rim to get that stretched look. The tire didn't fall off but you have to look out for every curb and pothole around that wants to eat your rim.

Thats what I was told too. I've always had the opposite problem...so I'm not too sure about this one. I've read several times that it will be just fine and that, while not ideal, it will work without any issues. Then I hear how unprotected they are going to be and how doing two mount/dismounts adds a higher likelihood of scratching them. So I'm thinking I'm just going to wait and get RE-11's... It seems that my sports package wheels might be getting sold quickly...
Yeah Phelan, I definitely don't want to mess them up, they are definitely some of the coolest wheels I've seen. |

They look better on Phelan's car.

They are sweet but it's really unfortunate who you had to buy them from.

Exactly. I don't encourage it, although 245/40 isn't that stretched.

they're nice wheels but IMO you should get a different color, it's too similar color to your paint.

You know, I haven't had time to install it. I think this morning was the first free morning I've had this month and I just felt like chilling at home. Man, those AP's would sure look nice behind the Volks.. |
