CaMpylobacter Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 must be why 99% of dragsters, hot rods and muscle cars run em.. huge tyres are oldschool. lowpro are ricer born and bredbut yeah man, you guys keep your dreams of tyres that dont fit your rims huge tyres that fit the rims even semi decently are oldschool, mad bulging and wearing the edges hard = moronic, rt's situation i guess would be an exception though i guess. lowprofile = "ricer" born and bred my arse....

RT Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 I'm always an exception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atropine Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 lol.. so the tyre bulging slighty, exactly how it was designed, wears them worse than taking a skinny ass tyre and stretching it as far as possible over a wide rim.. lol and obviously lowpro was used before ricers, but you know its true. ricers have brought the big rim , little tyre into fashion.

I fit the right tyres for the rim width low profile as fuck, if right for the job is sweet, I wouldnt be one to sacrifice rolling diameter just so i can rock rubber bands, especially on our roads, goodbye straight running rims it's bad enough round here just running a 185/50r15 round most new zealand roads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atropine Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 well theres ya problem, i never suggested a 265/50 for a 7" rim, the highest number ive even mentioned was a 235. The only mention of a 265 was... Well the main point I was making is that a 225/50 R15 isn't going to be the same diameter as a 265/50 R15. and yes, right tyre for right rim.

Guest WESTCORT Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 fuck stretching im gona wrap my mags with 225's once the eagars wear out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT Posted September 23, 2005 Author Share Posted September 23, 2005 well I've got the car sitting on the new axle and I've got 40mm between my existing tyre and the guard (unlipped). It looks a little silly now and I have to fill that space. A 225/50/15 is only going to reduce that gap by 10mm.. I can't get a 235 or a 245, fuckit, looks like its new mags time. This is becoming really annoying too many decisions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
