215 width on an 8.5 wheel? You know there will be stretch on that right? You should be looking 225 or 235 for an 8" width

^ im planning to run a stretch due to how low i anticipate being. the wheel specs may require camber and a stretched tire in order to avoid rubbing.

nice build thread. we should have a section in our forum dedicated to personal build threads, otherwise build threads pop up in the most random sections.

i'm running that exact tire size on my front wheel (17x8.5)... stretch is decent.. i love the look of overly stretched tires, but that's just me.

u plan on putting spacer in your rear or running staggered?

kronzonly · 02-20-2011, 01:42 PM

Those wheels will look great, esp that size and offset. Cant wait to see it dropped with the wheels.

JCRZ · 02-20-2011, 02:08 PM

Your setup will be hallaflush bro. I can't wait to see that thing dumped, riding dirty. Rocking out some decals like "sweet and low" "daily driven" "flossin" "no fat chicks" "slow and wide turns only" lol

that would be a great idea. i hope a mod sees this and gives it some thought. I also love the stretched look. Should be fun. As for the rear, If i dont have to i wont run a spacer but i may if the front is super flush and the rear is still a bit sunken in.

the MF10's will always look better. Waiting for my coilovers is gonna be hellish but worth it in the end

*goes to fatlace.com to browse*

you also forgot "no fat chicks, illest or I love your fake wheels" lol. I dont know if I'll run stickers. I always think theyre funny but i dont know if i could pull it off on my own car.

JCRZ · 02-20-2011, 02:30 PM

Lol yea I'm not a sticker guy myself I'm too si
Simple for it but I also think they are funny. I only do stickers if I was built by a shop or had them do alot of custom work. I rocked a clean xx tuning decal on my windshield with my ms3 bc they pretty much built the entire thing. I didn't have anything of the shelf aside from the basics.

Curious to see what offsets you go with!

Even tho I think stretching is a little dangerous I'm not gonna send any negative vibes at you bud.

Excited to see what the results are!
