to all you stretched, silly rubberband tire hipsters!

good god. I just bought wheels in 16x8 et10. how much do you think I'll need to pull the fronts to get em on judging your fitment

if you're going with wheels with fitment that aggressive you're going to need to go with a smaller tire than 225/50.

pulling your fenders to fit a single set of wheels seems like poor planning, especially if you want these wheels for a track setup.

now you see why people run stretched tires. a lot cheaper and easier than doing bodywork to fit a set of wheels. :p

[nrubenstein]

Its not supposed to be functional, its supposed to look good and allow you to sit your fuckin fender on your wheel. Just because you dont get it doesnt mean you should bash it. These cars aint trying to go fast around corners, if you hadn't yet figured that one out.

Edit: those wheels/tires look titties btw

It looks fucking stupid when people do that. I completely understand the stupid reasons and idiotic justifications. Just because I understand them doesn't make them less stupid or less idiotic.

my fenders are already rolled and pulled pretty good bud. and its not poor planning? wtf are you talking about? alot of guys pull and roll fenders, to an exact amount, so they can get the best fitment possible with a certain type of wheel. I've alway understood why people stretch but that doesn't mean I condone it. I bought these wheels bc the fitment I wanted(16x8 et20) wasn't available. I waited on backorder for 8 months and they never got produced so I changed my order to something I knew was in stock. trust me, the smallest size I will contemplate running is a 225/45. and I'll make them work... flares or stock fenders... I'll make them work. ;)

+1 to proper tires. looking good!

[euroshark]

Those look awesome!

Looks good! Let's see some day time shots

[gverelli]

I personally love it, hows the lateral grip with them?

[freeride53]

very nice

[UDelaware30]

going to trim the rear up a bit more considering they arent my tires to slash up. Day shots soon to come, just had 4 engineering exams this week

fenders were already pulled, im running 225/50/15 on my car daily so i appreciate the extra room i have. These wheels werent planned, im basically proving they can fit (sexily) on an e30 for my roomate and his brother's car.

16 pounds for a 16" wheel is not that bad. Kosei K1's are roughly the same 1 lb per inch.

I like the tires a lot but really don't want oversized tires rather not worry about speedo error but then again E30's are known to have a slower than indicated.

[Lurker27]

You'll never notice a 3% speedo error. Like you said, probably a correction

[will61]

for everyone running those shitty little 195/45/16's or whatever on 9" wheels, what the fuck are you doing!!!!! If you're going to add width and weight to the wheel, match them with proper tires! Never understood the whole stretched beyond functional trend, grow up.
