good for you
Not everyone cares about track performance, these are also street production cars. If you want to persue a racing career, get a go kart or some serious racing chassis instead of a production car, you can only advance soo much.
That "irresponsible" tire fitment is what got this car featured, its what makes this car unique and stand out for Rx7s.

My comments have absolutely nothing to do with performance. Unsafe on the track and unsafe on the street to have improperly sized tires for the wheels. There is nothing cool about stretched tires. I suppose if the car is kept under 40mph (15 in a corner) and remains a picture queen it'll be ok.
It's nothing personal. Just a simple fact. It's not safe.
Not here to argue style. It's a nice looking car parked in those pictures! Carry on....

The Big Ugly!
Here we go again. As far as looks go it's up there, but as far as performance goes it's only on it's way. The truth of the matter is that stretching the tires is ultimately sacrificing overall performance & can be unsafe under spirited driving conditions. If a mag only wants to feature a car that would be unsafe as a daily driver because it fits a trend then oh well, not taking anything from RC's car it looks good.

^^i overlooked that post lol
meh, dont really care what people think about stretched tires. no matter what ill still rock a 205 on a 10in. **** looks hot. that and makes my **** fit in just right.
also he shouldve went a deeper dished wheel if he was gonna slam it out and stretch out the tires.

Easily one of the best looking FC I've seen to my taste. Not too much aero parts and superb wheels is the way to go for those cars. I don't feel the sleepy eyes, hood pins and N1 duals though.
As far as tire fitment goes, to each is own I guess. The stance looks dope but I couldn't drive mine like that hehe.

Too much pull looks like poo on most cars including the fc. Ryan's is just a roll and a very light pull. He could go wider but if he did I personally would go wide body then. I think since his is so nice condition why risk messing it up by pulling the 1/4 panels or drilling them for flares or wide body..
Also OP should have put a disclaimer saying Function>form people need not apply. Some of you don't get a show car I guess.. If he was all about a function car it would have 500 ponies to go with a spoiler and diffuser and all the other go fast goodies. I am not trying to be a dick but why nit pick a car for something it's not?!
