A lot of jealousy in here.

I appreciate that but I would like it a little lower in the back. Not sure why I haven't just taken a cut off wheel to the lip and fixed it. Guess I'm afraid of messing it up haha.

That red car looks badass.

Those are tire saver rims. You've heard of rim-savers on tires, well, here's an example of a rim meant to save the tire sidewall.

At least the rims aren't at like a 45 degree angle.

AH, i get it then. SO the mullet look is actually to protect the cars in case we pulled up into a parking space and get too close to the next car. makes sense. let the wheels sticking out hit the car and not the precious fbody itself.

I see this.........
And think "damn, that car needs a little more tire to look perfect", kinda like this...
And if you don't think that Camaro looks great and badass, then you need to replace the ovaries currently residing in your ******* with a good ol' set of *****. I'm not saying the red WS6 doesn't look good, because it does, but it certainly doesn't look better than the Camaro by any stretch. However, they do have quite different looks to them. The Camaro says brute tough drag car and has no qualm about looking the part, the WS6 is more sleek and kind of whispering "I hope you're ready". Same with Gators car.

And this is just terrible, I don't care how functional it is. This guy obviously tried to make the car look as good as it is fast, and it's just not working.

1. That red TA you think needs more tire has a 325 mt radial. Are you on crackrock?
2. That blue Z has a 275 mt radial.
3. Camaros look like catfish.
4. My TA would freight train that blue z with the texas tilt super swampers on it. No whispering here.

Awww you two don't like being the ones whose personal preference is being picked on now? That's precious and tragic at the same time.

Do you prefer all terrains or mud terrains? I find the mudders really give a classic look but still slingem when you need to impress the high school chicks.

Now, go sit in the corner, clown shoes. Spend your time figuring out how to get a tire bigger than a 325/50/15 under that red TA.

From that angle, I see room for 345's with a .5" wider wheel with less offset, and maybe a quick roll of the fenders. Regardless, there's room for more on that car.

Another, almost equally bad scenario is when your front wheels stick out further than your rear.

That car needs a 11" wheel with 5" backspacing instead of the 10" wheel with 5" backspace.

Agreed. RTS fronts with 1.5" backspacing looks like ***.

Ricer, go set down and let the big boys talk. You have no clue.
