on stock suspension for now. No rubbing

Is that a 17x9 wheel? Looks way too stretched.

8R6 · 03-14-2016, 01:27 PM

hmmm...about 2-2.5" drop and 2-3deg negative camber away from having a reason to do that.......

Have fun with your stretched tire on your non-certified wheels.

Clipdat · 03-14-2016, 04:24 PM

And all season tires at that. You really spared no expense!

New wheels and used lug nuts? Your anodizing looks all scuffed and faded, what happened? I like your mudflaps that are the same color, looks nice. Wheels look good, are you planning on lowering?

just for another couple of weeks, if anything happens its my fault and i know that. Now you guys can go back to eating dirt or whatever you internet policemen do.

We're just trying to get you to roll around on something decent instead of neutering the handling of the car and running junk rubber.

Try a 245/40 tire with a UTQG treadwear rating of 240 or less (yours are 560) for your 17x9s.

i get that, i am fully aware that the tire is stretched and not a good idea. However, there are always people asking what a 215 looks like on a 9 inch rim and if it'll rub and so i provided that.

I think it looks great and you actually provided something to the community so good job. I am not a fan of stretched tires but the wheels are excellent. Everyone knows ambits are reps and stretched tires aren't the safest way to get point A to point B so that's not new information and doesn't do anything for the community other than putting a member of it down. If you do not track the car I have 0 issues with Ambits. Why pay more? (other than weight savings).

What tires do you think you will go with?

According to an individual on youtube, they are great rims. But he also said the FA20 is a strong motor. (I think you know who I'm talking about) :P

Clipdat · 03-14-2016, 08:20 PM

What did he provide exactly? The fact that 215s look like stretched shit on 17x9s? Not the first time someone has done it, and unfortunately won't be the last.

Maybe I am just trying to be nice for a change because that's what I would do in real life if there wasn't 5000 miles separating me and the anonymity of the internet (why I use my real name for my forum name, because I am not an asshole).

Plus I did ask a question to ensure my post wasn't completely useless either. But please, carry on tearing into someone that is happy about something they did to their car. God knows hard working people don't deserve to be happy if what they did wasn't the best thing to do.
