Could you not do anything wider than a 9.5 in the rear?

If you want to compete with Civics, I have some pointers....

1) stick a big "M" on the rear window
2) weld on a 6" exhaust tip
3) cut your springs in half
4) Buy some "NOS" seat covers

Then it will really be the bee's knees.

Looks tucked, that's for sure, but it needs more giant rear wing.

EDIT: Do/did you have a Protege5?

Because I think I remember you from another club. If so, then it's nice to see you around.

Here's mine:

those offsets, that fitment, and that alignment are EPIC fail. not to mention it looks like ***.

and btw, you should be the last person on this forum posting in other peoples tire and wheel fitment threads, seriously.

impact02,

More tire strech, and roll the rear fenders. Looks great, way to push the low offset bar.

Oun,
Nice swing in pic 3

thanks for the input. I still need to roll the rears but I'm waiting unitl I paint it and if I try more stretch I'll have like 215's or smaller and that is a little small for tire size on the car
