pics of wide alloys please

[ibizacupra]

what do you mean ' how not to mount a tyre?' thats the perfect streched look! as an ex euro dubber, i'm bringing that to my cupra! looks phat ricky! have you got any pics of the whole car mate?

because its f*cking dangerous... undersize tyre oversize rim.

simple as....

no matter how cool you think it looks... euro styleeee or whatever.

No reputable tyre company would condone this mix of tyre width and rim width disparency.

SAFETY FIRST dude.

dude??? now, now watch your language! dont knock it till you've tried it.....DUDE!

lol dude Bill's just pointing out a safety issue, i can understand why people do it, but remember that there is a risk when running tyres on wheels like this.

F*cking Dangerous.

Its a simple statment... put simply.

It just is... WRONG to do. no matter how cool you think it is.

Ignore and copy at your peril. You have been warned.

Read some other forums who run Euro styleee look and have tyres roll off the rims FFS.

They say they have to run them at 45psi to keep the tyres on the rims.. Does that remotely sound SAFE?

UNSAFE Dude..

ok well tanks for the tip, but so many people do it and its the first ive heard of it.
and if its ok for venoms 350 bhp Lupo and Polo im hoping it will be okay for mine.

on a side note im thinking of going back to standard wheels anyway, cant quite make up my mind but if anyone may want to PX there standard cupra alloys (in good nick)
for my keskins pm me. i might be tempted.

just keep the difference between tyre width and rim width to the minimum to achieve the req'd look.... go too far and the tyre will roll off the rim. You dont want that to happen do you.

Show look cars which might look "good" are often not driven there, and do not get driven hard on real roads.

You wont see many people admit to their tyres rolling off their rims whilst trying to make them look good.. not something they will shout about.

Check out CGTi forum for those who have done it to excess and had problems.

Tyre companies have reccomended rims widths for a reason. Safety is that reason.

R1cky, any big pics of your car as a whole?

 

[beattie17]

would 8x17 et35 fit on all round no problems? and clear coilovers?

 

[ibizacupra]

nope

 

[acidstrato]

also would be surprised if stretched rubber is actually legally covered by insurance

prefere the look of a decent tyre imo

toyos for me

 

[ibizacupra]

under & oversize tyres on rims cause accidents

 

[beattie17]

can you fit 8's on front atall?

ricky-ur car not on 8's at front?

 

[Undezcupra]

stretched tyres over rims are cool for shows etc etc but i would'nt like to be goin round a track with them on etc.., Bill is right! they do look good but would b v.dangerous at speed!

 

[r1cky]

yes mine are 8" at the front. doesnt catch, full lock and no rubbing.

 

[ALEX**]

i agree with bill that does not look safe to me and ur rims are unprotected, dont reckon it would take much hard conering to pop that off

 

[speedsix]

I was planning on putting 195's over 7.5j rims which is a fairly minimal stretch.

 

[beattie17]

R1cky- got any side on pics of frony alloy to see how far it stick out?

speedsix- what wheels u goin for? 16's i take it, 195/40's?

 

[speedsix]

Keeping the tyres I've got 195/45/16 on some 7.5j Borbet a's hopefully.
