Put some more rubber on my daily driving wheels today, 225/50/16 all season pilots i got for free. there is not much extra room after i mounted them on.
-2 rear camber, pulled fenders and rolled flat as hell, so it tucks fine under compression. Cant even fit the tip of my pinky finger between the tire and fender anymore, haha.
I know it looks retarded with sidewall buldge like that but they are just my daily wheels, I have 2 more sets i use at the track.
tight fit.....

Re: (nismofly)
Damn I hope you have some stiff rear suspension because those beyotches are rubbing in a bump or on a hard launch. What backspacing is that on those wheels? You can probably get them to tuck because I'm going to be running 275/50R15's this Friday.
Re: (Slo_240sx)
Tein HE's. No rubbing, the combintion of camber and pulled fenders lets it tuck fine. The wheels are 16x7.5+22 with 25mm bolt on spacers.

Re: (sixxdeuce)
I figure +22 how much clearance do you have from you tires and the coilover? Just wondering because those tires also do buldge out which looks nice.-Alex

Re: (Structure240sx)
More importantly..WTF are you running a 1" spacer?*shakes head*
your suspension geometry, studs, hub bearings, and stearing linkage all hate you now.

Yes they are effectivly -3, mesh wheels typiclly require quite large spacers to clear Z-brakes........
And exar, my car is built for drift, no other type or track use at all. You may or may not know that many pro's use this style of hub and wheel centric bolt on spacers at the highest levels of competition with no problems. I know that it would be bad setup for "racing" or on a car you drive alot and dont want to replace ****, my car falls into neither of these.
Of course I dont drift with those buldging sidewalls although it still slides decently the couple times ive tried it. The wheel tire combo in picture is just what i drive around on the streets on, the tires were free.
