Guy puts 17" 315 nittos on a GTO wheel. GTO 17s are smaller than the ws6/ss wheels, they're only 8" wide. And because this guy brought it up, lots of other people want to try it.

holy **** after reading that post, that guy has no idea what is going on. just reading his responses gave me a headache and he shows the pics of fucked up T/A or whatever it is and said he learned his lesson, but at the end of the thread he is talking about how he lost control of his car while drifting and once again with people in the car.
