offset question??

[duckJAI]

i heard that stretching certain tires actually improves the tires performance and longevity of them. there are some tires that are not adviceable to be stretched, but i could be totally wrong.

Stretching a tire makes the sidewall stiffer, but there’s a difference between stretching a tire, and stretching it… A LOT.

you don’t mean something like this do you?

you don’t mean something like this do you?

now that is just dangerously unsafe, both physically and on the wallet after the cops pulls your plates and calls you a tow truck

[jammin1911]

its illegal to stretch tires?

[Solarian]

I’m not sure, but I’m pretty sure if the cops see them like that ^^, they’ll ticket y0 ass.

[modded]

cops with tag u with unsafe vehicle and pull your car off the road

[duckJAI]

The best is to not get an 18x10 wheel period. Look at some of the pic threads and decide for yourself, but I think 18’s look atrocious on a 240. I don’t think 17’s are made up to 10", but you can prolly get 9 1/2" if you want the width.
I think people took the whole offset thing, and made it into assclownery. I wouldn’t run any offset higher than 9"+35 but I also wouldn’t go any lower than 9"+20 because you have to go through so much trouble, only to have “that drifter look”. I just love how people don’t realize that what they’re doing is just plain f*in ricey. They’re sittin around going like “ooh look at that flaming homosexual with the sunken battleship rims on that accord” Meanwhile, they have horrible camber, their car is impractically low, even for the track, and their tires are stretched to unsafe levels just so they look like JDM tyte drifters. Yea… way to not be a riceboy. :roll:

18x10 might be huge on an s13 which came stock with 15" rims, but on an s14 with stock 16" rims, it isn’t that much bigger.

I’ve seen 18s on s13s which look huge, but imo, 18s are perfect on an s14, especially a kitted car.

Look up some pics if you want.

I disagree, 18’s look retarded on 99% of 240sx.
17’s on the other hand look good on most S14s and S13’s owners should stick to 16’s.
I’d show you, but my car isn’t “finished” yet: I’ve been working at getting SPACERS for close to a couple of months now. ](*,)

Pics will come… maybe.

17’s with proper offset & tire size on a s13 is the best choice

[modded]

anywaz… i heard the 18x10 rims with 265/35/18 tire will only stick out 2inches more that the stock 15’s… if that the case the clearance is fine.

Phil, I didn’t have to look for pics, there’s a post pics of 18’s on an S14 thread. And the cars are criminally ugly, except for one.
