> yikes… anyways handling wise, if u have upgraded inner outer tie rods to enable ur turning radius to be improved then u can run wider rims setup… but u stated 12" wide rims and 355 tires? do u know how wide 355 tires are? its like 2 of my tires width together… there’s a reason trucks all run single thin tires in the front and double in the back…

> for my car i have bv tc rods and stock tierods … using a x9 rim in front has lessened my turn in angle dramatically… so u say handling is lessened.

ok the 12" wide and 355 thing was just a joke obviously, but i would still do it if i could

also, when i talk about big tires like this, I didn’t specify but I’m talking about appearance not performance.

for example, my (to be) street wheels are 10" rear and (possibly) 10" front, at absolute least 9". (dont give me the clearance issue thing, thats up to me to figure out)

my track wheels are 16x8.

as for a 355 tire, i know exactly how wide it is actually. its exactly 355mm wide.

which unless you are running smaller than stock sizes, is not “double” the size of yours, probably not even remotely close to double.

my last street setup was 255 wide and i hated it, too small/weaksauce for my personal taste.

sasha doesnt run an 11" to my knowledge (i believe hes running 10" or 10.5") but i bet he would if he could ;]

this is a pretty retarded discussion for the most part i think

samson you are trying to use stress on the steering rack and tie rods and shit as a counter-argument but this is absolutely irrelevant - I asked how it affect handling, you know, like actual cornering G’s.

I’m well aware of the negative effects wide tires have, I was asking you for an argument proving that you’re actual cornering g-forces will be worse with wide tires.

like i said, this discussion is a bit retarded but we might as well go with it now that we’ve started ;]
