Each their own and all that...but I'll never understand it. Main thing is it's your car though and as long as you're happy with it that's all that matters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Locky) Member 85 Member For: 11y 1m 10d Gender: Male Posted 09/05/14 10:49 AM Share Posted 09/05/14 10:49 AM I just chucked them on as I had a spare hour to sus out whats going to be needed once the 19's rock up They are off this thing Rear is definatly going to need some love, yet front will work better than I thought. AS much as I'd like to know way I would drive around like this as AS I have never really seen one of these pull off 17s's and would need to be silly low to make it work. It looks silly with massive gaurds gap, I need to sort out a good 2in drop for the rear before I would contimplate wunning any agressive rim. The euro guys were doing it for years, the japs quite a while. SOme people says its to do with sidewall flex while drifting, but its also super previlent in their VIP scene and cars with oni camber (ie 10+ deg) It seems to become mainstreem in the last 2-3 years compared 7 or so years ago, no tyre shop wanted to touch it. For me it makes sense with IRS as you can have mm close rim to gaurd fitment and it will still tuck in under compression. The track car needs it to limit fouling withg sill suspension setup that needs low offset wheel to clear everythign at full lock. Since become more the 'norm' so many bad examples adn people going too much strech for no real reason, unless its to be cheap to get smaller tyres when with the gap in the gaurds would allow a lot larger tyre and would actually look a lot better filling the gaurd In summry, not running car like that, just doing some sums on the numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes on the history, no on why people do it now. I did it because:* My wheels juuussssttttttt stick out the gards ( like 1mm ) so obviously tyres would not fit under the car. * it makes wheels with aggressive offsets ( like mine ) look a lot better by tieing the wheels into the car, not just having stupid fat wide tyres, so they look flush* The eliminate tyre flex when you have just slightly stretched tyres (245 on a 10" ) so you get better response from your steering, contrary to actual belief that it will hinder handling ( obviously a 195 on a 10" is dumb ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 3m 24d Posted 11/05/14 06:13 AM Share Posted 11/05/14 06:13 AM Provided it is the same brand going up from 265 to 275 will be 10mm wider so 5mm further out at the guard. Can work it out on that basis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
