No plans for camber, I have zero rubbing. Pulled fenders are the only modifications done. I haven't cut any plastic either.

 

says no fender mods. pulls fenders.

can't explain that.

 

ROFLMAO

like solbrothers... OP, just please please pleeeeeeeeeaaase stop posting.

 

y u no want me to post? :cry:

 

as far as I can tell... he didn't say no FENDER mods... just no camber.

if he did indeed say no fender mods, you should've quoted it.

 

summing things up...



have fun with them tho... I just feel sorry for your girl driving this and not you.

 

Except he said that SHE wanted this.

 

They still sell Falken 512s? I thought I got the last set in the nation.

More pics if you're going to make a thread about it.

 

a female that likes a 17x9 wheel with ridiculous stretch on a FIT??? how I wish the few of my female friends that are into cars got balls (sorta speak) like her... they can appreciate but not want to run a mad stretched tires.

I call bs on that...

 

I have no reason to believe or disbelieve it... it's only what he said.

I've pretty much given up on voicing my dislike for things such as these... mostly because of the absurd "argument" that will almost always occur between those that like it (also consider it safe) and those that don't.

The only thing important to me is... if I feel it's dangerous, that I stay FAR FAR away from them.

 

is this how you guys felt about my orange wheels? At least this person committed and got them powdercoated

 

Bish, I like it. Let the haters hate. And to all you who point at stretched tires, form a cross with your fingers and go "eeeeeeee!!!" Can you please link or pet some evidence to support the theory of a stretched tire failing because it was stretched? I have seen tires that have failed, many many times thanks to working 5 years in a very busy tire store. I have yet to see a tire failure that wasn't directly related to low air pressure, or some kind of impact I.e. potholes or curbs or debris etc. I have never seen or heard of a wheel just "popping" off the head due to extreme stretch. Besides, compared to what some of the euro and jap guys do, 205/40-17 on a 9 isn't that crazy.

 

I don't remember seeing anyone "Hate" also, no one discussed a tire just popping off the wheel. Potholes, curbs, etc... which you mentioned are the common cause of failure will have more of an impact on a tire which is not properly mounted (ie. mounted outside of the tire manufacturer's specifications... including rim width, tire pressure, etc...) and will be more likely to fail. This is common sense... any object being pushed outside of it's limits is more likely to fail then that same object being used within it's limits. You can put a 25lb weight on 20lb fishing wire but chances are, it'll break more quickly than a 20lb weight on a 20lb fishing wire.

Common sense says, stay within the specified limits.
