lol

this forum is such a pile of crap

bunch of old bag of bones dudes

YAAHHHRRR i mgonna run 20x12 +85 with a 455 tire its gonna be dope, my car will have 300 hp and ill talk about "IM GONNA HAVE TONS OF GRIPZ"

ps burnout fenders are like what 15mm wider than stock? you could run burnout offsets on a stock fd if you werent a loser. if you try to put a 285 up front or whatever (and do anything besides cruise around on the street, good thing you wont) youll probably overheat the **** out of your power steering and wreck your inner fender tubs


here is an fd with ksauto aero and low offset wheels. hmm. the same wheels they ran on the black demo car with the gt fenders. (before they ran the bvillens you retards, before somone tries to call me on it.) but WHAT? WHY WOULDNT THEY RUN WIDER WHEELS ON THE CAR WITH THE FENDERS? I THOUGHT I BOUGHT A WIDEBODY KIT. WHA WHA WHA????????!!!

the fenders are style only. you can get the same fender room with a roll on the stock metal. the reason the cars run low offset wheels is because of the stretched tire / wide wheels / camber settings. not the fenders. lol

do you people even know what you are buying? or do you just wait for some other 50 year old hotrod turned ls1 swap fd "i used to roadrace" guy to come along and hold your hand? ******* pathetic.

here is their demo car with the gt style kit

lowest offset tc2s come in is 18x9.5 +12 (which i doubt that car is even running), and with a square sidewall like that, with a theoretical max wheel width of 9.5, id say that tire couldnt be any wider than a 255?

knowing rx7clubs taste for braindamage i can fit my fist in between my wheel and fender, and the i like to read the sidewall ride height, and the my sport tires need to last 80k miles alignments, and the i like my tires to be wide to the point of balooning the contact patch and picking up the inside and outside shoulder blocks because the tire is 3 sizes too big for my awesome 8 inch wide forged rimz, original poster should tell captain ccw master of offsets that he is running stock fenders, or he will be dissapointed.

And I'll rock out with my **** out.........

I want 19X10 front and 19X13.5 rear for my FC. NO wide body, just a roll and pull. I'd like to run a 205 up front and a 235 in the rear. You guys have a suggestion for offsets? I'm going old school, remember when peeps used to run 13X10 Dayton gold wire wheels with reverse offset with 205 WHITE WALLED RUBBER?? I'm taking it back like that, but only BIG diameter yo.











Like all stupid fads..... hopefully this will pass also....... like the Mullet....... and people will look back and say WTF was I thinking?

You only need to when you buy cheep tires whaaaat

18x10 +7

the demo car stretched their tires!? hogwash! but it has to be wrong, because its against everything rx7club stands for.

Pro Drifters do of course
AD07 looove

most drifters who go above 350rwhp and have the money (ie. pros/ppl wiht sponsors) buy r compounds.. where as normal folks buy the higher rated street tires just below the r compounds

neova's aren't R-compounds. R-comounds would be like A048's, ecsta V700's, and the like.

azenis, neova's, whatever the hell the competing hankook's are called... etc... are super high performance street tires... closest you can get to race tires without actually getting them. they do have fairly stiff sidewalls, but still not like A048's, or hoosiers or something. a stretch on azenis will still make them a little stiffer.

if you think a stretched steel belted 3 ply dot radial tire with a steel sidewall insert is going to have more sidewall flex than a 2 ply nylon race slick with no sidewall insert on a wheel narrower than the tread, you are a ******* idiot. thats all there is to it
