anyone know what kind of tires these are?

I'm running 205/40 on 8" and I still think it's not enough.

Also, stretching tires just because it "looks cool" is stupid. You only stretch for fitment issues. If you're rolling on sunken wheels and have stretched tires, you're a ricer.

If you're running rims wider than required for the max tire size you can fit, you're a ricer as well... being stretched on small wheels just means you're bad at being a ricer.

You clearly didn't get my point.

I guess running this is more your style. THE TIRES ARE SQUARE!



I guess this guy's a ricer too. I mean, it's not like the car did 55's on Tsukuba.


Wait. Weren't you 4x4ing on Motegis?

Pic 1: Those are balloons

Pic 2: Those rims aren't wider than required, since that size of rim is roughly what you need for that size of tire if you don't want sidewall flex. That's also a purpose built racecar that isn't doing something stupid like trying to fit 195's on a 10" rim...

4x4ing? My front subframe scrapes some speedbumps. I also run wider tires than most people, and thats on a daily driver, not my project so I chose between buying more expensive rims, or buying more expensive tires. Tires > rims in case you can't figure that out.

what the hell are required sized rims?

^ rims that don't need to be wider than required? I'd assume there's some science going into choosing the width/size of a rim for a particular car when going to race track and lapping times. Please correct me if i'm wrong.
