supersix 0 Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Hey GuysJust got hold of some new 3 peice wheels, They have a stretch on the front but its not killer, Howver the rears are 10 inch wide on 215 / 45 /17 tyres! I have 350+ bhp and im petrified that they will ping off mid corner? Does anyone know about stretching? Any suggestions as to whether they will be ok or whether i should go bigger appreciated, Here they are on the previous owners car, Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Think Id go wider on them, ive got 205s on the same wheels but 8.5 wide and thats enoughpersonally with that power, id try 225s if they clear they arches Link to post Share on other sites
Phat VR6 3 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 The only reason people strech is for looks and to get nice wheel to arch alimentIts not as safe nor does it handle as well as it would with the proper size tryers If your into looks then you could keep them like they are but if you want to drive it hard higher it up abit and put proper fitted tyres on it Link to post Share on other sites

I have a plan!WOo![/quote']na leave the stretch it looks sick. just keep checking the air in the tyres..and keep them inflated! that stretch is just right. Unless your going to be rallying corners everyday..screeching wildly..then go for the standard tyres. Link to post Share on other sites
