Wide tire thread: 245 and growing....

[crazy D]

 

Then i decided to un-5 lug and go back to 4 lug.

 

by any chance will your 5 lug stuff swap over to Ea81?

 

if so will you be considering selling it?

 

or at least some of the hard stuff that needs to be done for the swap(cuz im a nooooooobie)?

 

thanks

No. Not for sale.

My Rota 17x8's were the same way.

 

However, those 245's were not 'Advan' wide (meaning they actually measured 245 instead of the Yoko Advan tires being advertised as 245 and measuring 255+) and did not protrude beyond the rim too much. The RE070's were the same way.

 

I did get some rubbing on the inner body work, until i raised the car some. Then it handled like butt hole.

 

Then i decided to un-5 lug and go back to 4 lug.

 

mmmk....I haven't put tires on 'em yet. I just converted 8" to mm, and got 205. so I was thinking anything wider would stick out beyond the rim, and rub on the trailing arm.

 

my buddy has some 235/40r17s on his RS, and he offered to let me test one of them on my car....so we shall see.

yeah, you can get all 4 wheels hooked up for just over a bill.

yes, I've thought about wheel spacers, and very well may use them....but using them just complicates fender clearance :-\

just cut out the fender and rivet some wider fenders on :cool: just like the lancia delta integrale

[OT]Which reminds me: there's a Lancia around here, gotta get some pics of it sometime! Strangely enough, I have no idea what model it is, as I have only seen it a couple times while driving by it at highway speed.[/OT]
