Originally posted by Toodaloo View PostThe day before I installed the coilovers, I went shopping around town to see who I could convince to stretch a 215/40/16 on my 16x9 wheels. Nobody would do it including the shop my buddy works at. I finally convinced the manager at a big brand shop to do it. The only tires in the size I desired were some cheap nexens. Ideally I like to go with a bigger proven brand with a better compound, but I got the rear tires replaced fairly cheap.
That's it for now.

Hmm. I wonder if can tuck that. I'm already poking a bit in the rear with the 16x9 +10. With 205/45 16x8 +11 I barely have finger clearance. I don't think 215/40 is gunna fly the more I think about it. I cut this fender pretty much flush, but it's not rolled. Should be able to get a couple mm more clearance without wreckin my square fenders. Imo they look like ass when rolled to the max basically flared out.

Be careful going smaller than 215, personally from experience I wouldn't do it. I'm all for stretch, but only to some extent. As of right now my rear tires are at the most stretch I would personally run, honestly i would even consider going up to 225 in the future. It's not ridiculous, but it's at that point where if it were any more I would be scared to throw it into corners.
By all means if you have to go smaller, it can be done, easily! But at what cost since you'll loose some performance as well.
If it's a show car, screw it! Do it! Haha

Anyone know why my cars cooling temperature would rise halfway when I'm on the freeway?
Usually when I'm stuck in traffic the temp gauge will be in between the 11o clock position and the 12 o'clock position. Only thing I can think of is a clogged radiator or stuck thermostat. Suggestions?
Thanks
