Default Widest stock honda wheels out there

The stock 16x 7.5 was widened to 16 x 10 for the new tires
Somehow they happen to fit under the car still (super tight I might add*)

Here are a couple of teasers to show off the new big tires on the modified stock wheels =)

As you can see things are super tight but they do fit (we are going to make a 10mm spacer just for safety sake though)









To give an idea these tires are 26" tall 10" wide tread width
You just gotta love big tires on little cars hehe

^ Plus avoid problems such as uneven mass distribution, which could lead to premature tire wear and a host of other problems?

I would honestly be a bit scared of a "widened" wheel seperating or something, but hey- whatever floats your boat bro... Looks very aggressive.
