Sportmax 962 17x9 35mm offset with 33mm spacers rear and 25mm in front. Tires are kuhmo 711 215/45-17, stretched.

 

You better watch out for curbs!

 

Do you have any better front profile pics, it looks like your rims are sticking out pretty far.

Why are you rolling stretched tires?????? Drifting much????

 

I think it's all for looks. With a tire stretched that much, I would be worried of the tire breaking from its beads during hard cornering. With the wheel setup without spacers, 245s and wider tires can be used, without rubbing.

 

Thats pretty much it. I have been hanging around my 240 friends too much and they run some seriously low offset, negative camber, and tires which are stretched farther than mine. Tire bead popping from the rim is not a concern for me because I do not drive aggressively to begin with. My friends drift all the time and they have not had a tire come off on them.

 

alot of VW guys stretch their tires as well

 

Yup, and mine isn't even that extreme!

 

Why do you stretch the tires like that? How do they stick to the rim?

 

i like the look, mean as hell. that's one tough *****.$%@%$ shut yo mouth!

 

I hope you dont take this in a bad way, but It reminds me of a lowrider.

 

going for the drifter look eugene?

 

In the end, I am just a poser with a fwd car.

You are not the first and definetly not the last.

Thanks!

Mine are stretched because I bought them like that. If I buy new tires, I will by the same size - primarily for looks (I like how it looks in the 240 and VW crowd). Here is a link on stretched tires for more information:

I have zero clue how they stick to the rim. I know the beads are still attached and I know that if you get too thin a tire, there will be air leaks.

 

1. this is a picture thread

Nice. I like that 2nd pic too, but too bad it's off center.

 

It's taken correctly. It concurs to the rule of thirds.

 

looks like it belongs in the 80s

 

GigEm: Looks nice, but when are you going lower it?

 

Nightshots! two more then i'll stop. Again, the second pic is my fav. And i'd lower it tomorrow if i had the money and the knowhow!

EDIT: Pictures added

 

Well I finally got a chance to wash all the salt and dirt off my car.
Cleaned and detailed the exterior, interior, and engine bay.

The lighting wasnt the best for the pics, but o well.

 

Car looks good sooner!!! I can't wait for the weather to break next week in the 50's so I can do my initial spring cleanup on my 01 pearl max...I have washed it frequently this winter and car still looks new...It does however have the small "rust dots" I get every year on the trunk face and body but easily comes off with a little clay bar.. By the way where is your Otto FSTB in the pictures? Did you take it off??? I just ordered my Berk from Bryan and looking forward to installing soon.. I was pleasantlly suprised to see my quote in your pictures about respecting your opinion on the org.. You and Irish and a few others are the ones I respect the most...Paul

 

Sooner you car is PIMP !!!
