true vg is much thinner that pg. high pg might make it harder to drag off the pipe though.

the reviews on that pipe already call for tight drags. Like a real pipe.

bdros, how do zee federal tirez stretch?

[Ayman]

I think they run wider

[E30_Pare]

aka "fat"erals

[flash 23]

^ i somewhat agree. i'm running 205s on 8s (i know it's not a lot of stretch to begin with) but it is definitely less stretch than the toyos' i had before

[CHIF8008]

my 195 federals were wider than my 205 falkens. gonna go back to federals next set. MMmmmm bacon

side note* idk if anyone else has noticed this, but stock e21 lug bolts are hecka long compared to the stock e30/e36 bolts. installed a 15mm spacer to test fit on the front and the bolts were still too long! haha wheels spun, but the bolts just stuck too far inside the rotor and were hitting stuff.

so im concluding that they would be great for those running bigger spacers.

Thats good to know

The federals have a fat rim protector bead so its less butthole stretch. Google some pics

[CHIF8008]

unless if someone swapped them out a long time ago with after market ones, but i dont think so. my brother was running 13in X like 6 BBS mesh wheels so i dont think they needed "extra long ones" i think its due to the deep rotor design on the e21? i donno

maybe ill check a yard next time to confirm that they are stock lugs. they look like it.

[CHIF8008]

smooth....for the most part

shpanks gais

[JFarhanbod]

Should I do less spacer or more stretch? (Remember, stance car..)



That's with a 20, tried an 18 but still rubbin. Either gonna try a 15 or step down a couple tire sizes.

That's 18x8.5 et-7 with a 235/40. I'm thinking a 215 or 225 would work.

[E30_Pare]

thats a tough call. I say more tires less spacer. Meat looks bad ass.

[JFarhanbod]

A 215 should be 20mm more narrow than a 235 right? Not counting width differences between manufacturers.
