Running wheels on Rocket Bunny
 
Hey team,

I'm looking at ordering my Rocket Bunny v2 soon and was thinking of running stretched 20" wheels. Just after opinions! Cheers!

Hey man, probably won't find your answer here. My suggestion is to try a stance forum or something of that sort.


Most people here are about function over (stance) form.

Or at least check/ask in the right section if asking if they will work. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=96158


If just asking for opinions of if he should then things could go sideways fast in the General section.

Stretched anything, except for Twizzlers, isn't good.

Agreed. There is a salt water taffy machine at a candy store near me and it's absolutely hypnotizing.

If you're serious and not a troll, hardly anyone runs 20" wheels, even when widebody #stancenation #hellaflush #formoverfunction #instabutts #hashtag. 19" is doable, but it looks funny. 18" seems like the sweet spot.

olsonpg 06-01-2016 01:14 PM

Theres something about stancing these cars thats just hurts the soul. Like do it to a old beamer or hatchback civic. Not to a thoroughbred drivers car thats prided on its balance.

on a serious note you could try to do a 19/20 stagger but id think 20's in the front is a no go.

Or... wait for it.... he could do like a sensible normal person and get his car modded to be functional instead of looking like something that came out of a carnival mirror house. That way he could have his car look nice and still be driveable.

Leonardo 06-01-2016 02:21 PM

215/30/20 fits in the front no problem. Same OD as a 225/40/18. It would look STUPID on a RB. LOL

you can make a 19/20 setup work and be completely driveable, the difference is not that crazy where its going to look like a donk.

Driveable does not equate into functional necessarily. And yes functional in 19 and 20 is possible but lets not lie to eachother op isnt looking at function but rather if it physically fit
