Aggressive fitment anyone?!

Damn, you really no ur stuff. lol

if ur gonna push the limits with wheels n tires, u have to. lol.

 

[Protege03ak46]

Yea, still trying to pick up on everything.

 

[justanothermp5]

175? holy s*** lol
that would have been crazy stretch!

 

[MakeMeGoFast]

Sounds good, cept the tire. Way too thin. I'd run a 195/40 or 45 for more cushion. It should fit perfect.

Now that you say that it makes more sense. Hmmm. Idk.

Is everyone forgetting about the load rating on tires?

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Pfh, who needs that (evil)

 

[Rix6]

Yeah - if you are gonna ignore a manufactures design limits on wheel width, why would you be a bit concerned about something so stupid as load ratings!!!!

And even if you did care about load ratings, do you think the tire can still perform as rated when stretched way beyond its design limits. The sidewalls are going to be no where near vertical, so the load rating the manufacture printed on the tire is meaningless....

so u guys think a non lowered protege can go 225/35/18 without rubbing?

You will rub when you make sharp turns from hitting the inner fender wall, I would guess.

thats "stretch", Its the process of fitting small width tires on wide wheels. That one also has a s*** load of poke. Those kinda look like knock off BBS's

 

[R-X-R]

oh ok. everyday something new. thanks for the reply. wuts a poke?

 

[xDJ DUBx]

lol, poke is when the rim itself sticks out further than the body of the car.

 

[Protege03ak46]

Thats were the wheels extends past the fenders

Ya, I don't think those wheels mesh well with the Protege, but it still looks good. That setup with some clean 5 spokes or something, would be tits. (godown)
