yeah, i know i know, its almost a joke

but seriously, i wanna see if anybody got some sweet tire on fender action with their 15's

stretch, no stretch dosnt matter

ive been on rimtuck, the fitment thred here, zilvia, google engine

reason im asking is im getting some xxr 002 15x8 +0 for fixing a dudes car plus 50 on top and will only be to shred and destroy while drifting (daily with xxr 002 16x8 +0)

and im lookin for a tire size to fit nicely

in theory yes, in actuality no

we all can spot the difference between a 16 and a 17, same as a 15 and 16

the tire size and camber would be the biggest issue in this particular situation as currently i am running a 205 45 16 where as the set up i want to get to be "flusher" is 195 60 15

15's are so underappreciated but they are just so cheap for tires, and if i can get them straight rubbin on the fender with a correct size tire that would be "flush" enough for me

only thing with 15s is you have that ugly 60 sidewall.. adds alot of flex.
they are light tho and soooo easy to spin

yeah i dont care about flex since they are just for drifting lol

cause ok, you knwo you wanna go out and drift sometimes, but you dont wanna put the 15x6 on the rear and run like 16 or 17 x 8 or 9 up front, it looks stupid, and seriously, any cop with half a brain knows whats goin down

with the 15x8 im hopin to look good and be able to get my drift on when im feeling spontaneous lol :yesnod
