I think you should make that a reality.

I will.

I fly out next week to pick up my M42 car from Turk/Levent.

It's the Silver one in the "Dime a dozen" thread he started....

I just have to decide what wheels I'm going to go with.

I'm so sick of reading threads that turn into bitchfests about stretched tires.

Yup.

It should be a rule - before you start talking shit you have to post a picture of your car, then proceed.

Lol. Reminds me of the GF halloween thread.

I just think its a dead horse. Yes, you could fit bigger rubber ( in theory) and some people dont like the look.


Some do.

Stretched tires: Don't hate the player, hate the game.
they obviously became popular because people like them. It doesnt matter if they are infunctional, its Obviously for looks. Sort of liek 1910 T-buckets with Supercharged hemis, yet have no seats, seat belts, or......traction.
I doubt he takes it to the track, or cares about doing mad autocross times. Maybe you should bash him/ the car, if that is what it was built for. And If it is a daily driver. stretched tires do have an advantage.
Less width of the tires say 185 compared to 205 is less friction on the road therefore better gas mileage. So in the end it really is functional for the purpose, and he can still run mad fat wheels that look great. because I think 16/6 ronal turbos arent gonna look as good with 195s as 16/9s......

What part about "the stretched tire argument has been beaten to death" did you not understand?

[ak-]

At least he wasn't a blabbering asshole about his opinion.
I love the car.
A little too much stretch for me, I like minor stretch though.
Camber is a tad too much for my liking, but overall that car is Dope with a capital 'D'.
I love it, and would definitely rock it.

I "gots" to get on this post... This is my e21. Believe it, my rear wheels are "splayed" just like the car on post number #1. But in this picture taken on "Dragon Run", they are "right", riding the turns on the "tail of the dragon"..........:o

[Moto-Mucci]

what?

[unicorn]

Just a pic of the father the of the notorious, cult classic, e30. My wheels on my e21 are "splayed". They point out and down for excellent traction, a true half-shaft tradition.

i think he is trying to say his car has the same strech. but his car also doesn't have the same camber, or tire width it looks, so the pont that they sit under the car was dumb. well ya they sit under the car, if you sont have the same size wheel, the same amount of camber, of width of tire, then saying your low e21 has tires that sit right is irrelevant. also if your not running the exact same wheel then the off set is different also.
