[freakyjason]

Hold on wait a second...I think you got me confused with someone else because you agreed with me when i asked the question and then i answered to the other guy and now you answered thinking it was a response to you which i then responded to your response and i just realized that you just posted to me without actually realizing you should've posted to jadesr20det, not me.

Hit the quote button on the wrong post, you're right.

.....BTW we are in 2009 no one gets "pwned" nemore....but you just did hahahahahaha

I realize that. That's what the '' around the word are for.

From what i have heard by streaching a tire there is less sidewall flex , thus giving you better feel for when you are about to break traction .

[DrifterXRPS13]

So it's all good then, we're all in agreement.

thanks safin...don't try to steal my avatar now..lol

Looks that way haha.

Yes, but you will reach that breaking point more quickly which is not ideal for a lot of types of driving.

As for streching tires ive heard the same i just get whatever tires are within my budget wether they be 265 or 245 ...........i wouldnt go lower than 245 on my 9.5 though

[SnailPower]

Still waiting for the RIM SIZES !! !! !!

I just ordered my wheels and that info would definitely help me out when I order my new tires.

SoOoOo - To the OP - Please Post Your RIM Sizes!!

Thanks!!

[tramp_drift240]

a 285 on a 9.5?

i put a 265/35 on my 9.5 and it was squared up, so i dont see the need for those puppies.

and the first thing i noticed was all the wheel gap youve got goin on.

[OutToWinPAHC]

People who stretch tiny little tires on a huge rim fail.

You do not fail. You are the opposite of fail.

Those 285s look like sex. I'll bet its a little harder to light them up now, right?

Agreed, Wide wheels need wide tires. Looks good I got 275-40-17's going on my 17x9+35 volks

[tramp_drift240]

Never liked 962 before your car. That is very clean and very legit. Nice work. Built SR + big rubber + stock aero = pimpness.

those are Rota P45 wheels man. It even says so in his signature.

Thar be no 962's here matey.

[240lookis]

this thread turned into the hiding place for all the grip guys haha

car looks good though.as stated, it needs to be lower.

[tramp_drift240]

lookis, im diggin where you cars going. i havent been on in a while and your sigs rulin' pretty hard.

[fast_s13]

OK my rear wheels are 18x9.5 +20mm... i rolled my wheel wells slightly but no pull.. it doesn't rub at all. My front wheels are 18x8.5 +30 I'm running 225's on it now but gonna try a 245 and see how it looks.... this car handles as good as my evo did on the back roads

[Stripes]

lower it.255/45 on 17's woulda been so much sweeter.

[TroubleBound]

Your stance is very nice. I would have to agree with the general consensus of lower your car.. It looks like youre about to go drag racing or something with tires that wide =) Pretty beast though they look nice. What gen evo did you have? Thas crazy your 240 can handle like awd evo, i wanna see like some skidpad comparisons ha

[fourLUG_hero]

NEEDS MOAR LOWER!!!!!

I don't like that I can fit my whole body between your tire and fender but if you like it, it's all good.

[Fancy_Footwork]

Yeah definately need to sit those wheel wells right down on the meaty bastards.

Also....SPECS!. Pretend its the fitment thread ( maybe you should post there ) - do you just have stance coils, or are there arms, spacers or particular alignment angles making that monster traction happen?

i had a 04 evo 8 now i just bought a 08 evo x and i'd have to say the evo x handles amazing

[vLaDii]

Get your wheels aligned ASAP man, your chewing the crap out of your rear tires by the look of it!

[aaronbeisel]

Looks clean man.

[Jadesr20det]

here is a pic of my meats ....265's



and yes you can tuck those bad boys





now lower and your all set

[SnailPower]

I just got my wheels in with the used tires on them.

I'm running Staggered 5Zigen FN01R-C's -

Front: 17x9 | +15 | 225-45-17Rear: 17x10 | +12 | 245-40-17Obviously these Tires Are Stretched - Not my choice!!

I'm looking into getting some new tires myself, but I don't think the 285 is necessary, nor do I think it will fit with the low offset.



My car is lowered about 3" on SILK-ROADS RM-IA8's right now, and I barely rolled the rear fenders to make sure I had clearance on those 10" rears.

After reading over this thread several times, I still have to agree that another 1" drop would make your car look 110x better with those 285's on there. Question for you- Where did you buy your 285's? I've been using http://www.DiscountTireDirect.com for years, and never had a single complaint - but you've got me curious.

[fast_s13]

[fast_s13]
