Azev Type A: 16in Front/17in Rear

[BimmerDawg]

the rolling diameter is way off, plus you could easily fit tires much wider with the 7.5s. meh, to me the staggering is too drasitc. the rears look sweet though.

Yeah, I knew that the RD was off, but like I said, I wanted to match the profile of the rear tire, so it was either a 215.40.16 or 195.46.16 and I went narrower so it would be slightly stretched, just like the rear. IMO, a 205.50.16 would've looked even stranger due to a really thick sidewall, know what I mean?

i like it, at least they're genuine.

You were going to buy Grids too, so don't even go there.

[DanGillan]

i cant hate on that, you can barely tell. i like it.

I like the look but if it were me I would run wider tires.

I think it looks good. You have no spacers in front with the 16x7.5 et30? How close is it to the strut?

Your pulling a slight bit of stretch, looks nice, nothing to crazy.

I like the cut of those rims. Can't wait to see that bad boy in person.

Something differnt, looks good, can notice the difference in wheel size, but if you were looking at the car overall, you wouldnt notice...i like them, but if you got 17's all around that would be sweet

[grapedrink]

Interesting. The rear arch throws it off a little.

I like Azevs, if you hadn't mentioned that the wheels
were different diameters only a few people would have picked up on it.
How does it handle though?

He mentioned he was waiting on spacers. With proper tires, you definitely be hitting the strut.

Stop by anytime...God knows I'm always working...

Not sure. T1-Rs are knon for being pretty slick the first ~200 miles due to the compound used to separate the tire from the mold. Although I can say I like the ride better with smaller sidewalls as it was simply too soft with the 225.50.15s, even with 650# springs.

i like the looks of the rear A LOT! looks dope man.. euro molding would set it off.

I could imagine that overwhelming understeer with less grip in the front.

Our cars understeer enough already.

Handling set aside, that looks HAWT

with GC setup and KONI's, you could stiffen up the rear enough to eliminate some of that understeer....and also get some 205/50/16 on the front...hehe

looks freakin sweet though. hell, if u have second thoughts about those, i will buy them. hehe.
