ok we wait for pics. I did ask for suggestion ok whatever but its something different than buying another set of wheels.

sorry bout the questions...im just wondering, do you have the pics of the wheels that you want widened? or is it the same one as in your sig?

CylonFrakker · 02-21-2007, 01:56 AM

same as in my sig.

CylonFrakker · 02-21-2007, 02:00 AM

Here are better pics

You can see 275s are not wide enough with +25 offset

Stock clutch did not like 16 psi pulll

Here is a pic with a widened TT rear left wheel and stock TT right wheel (photoshop). Good it looks secksi!

markyboi · 02-21-2007, 02:02 AM

for some reason, your tires look stretched, and it looks small

my bro has 275/40/18 on his sc, it looks humongous already...

CylonFrakker · 02-21-2007, 02:05 AM

yeah that one pic was when I had decided to stretch a 225 to see what it would look. But the other pic is a from the lower rear is 275.

CylonFrakker · 02-21-2007, 02:06 AM

here is another angle with a 275 on the 9.5+ 25

you should be smarter then to have your license place up there. Not as big of a deal if you lived in California or something though...

I also do not consider a t88 entirely peaky =P

and you should know better!! Compound is wayyyyyy more important then width in any respect.

CylonFrakker · 02-21-2007, 11:43 AM

Those are old tags and they have changed since then. Plus people see my tags everyday when I drive

superium · 02-21-2007, 01:16 PM

Anyways was $150 the price estimate they gave you? Just curious because that sounds somewhat cheap and I sent them an email as well for an estimate for my rears.

CylonFrakker · 02-21-2007, 02:58 PM

yeah thats what they quoted
