I know ALOT of people running stretched tires and never heard of any crashes or anything and they do high speed runs, etc. nothing.

 

You forget to consider width? Offset is only half the story.

 

these personal attacks are getting way out of hand. From both sides

Close-mindedness:
The amount of close-mindedness within the car scene is staggering. Form vs. function. Modifying cars (younger generation) vs. keeping them stock (older generation). People will always have differing opinions. It drives me insane to see the elitism that exists on both sides. So few people will accept a different thought process or acknowledge personal perspectives these days and it makes me sad to see that. Each side will only see things from their side and no one is willing to step outside their boundaries. I blame the anonymity of the Internet. People think that because they’re behind a computer screen, they can be keyboard warriors and type whatever the hell they want. Writing a bunch of anonymous, ignorant statements doesn’t solve anything or get you anywhere.
What makes your standards or opinion more valuable or important over another’s? So what if people have different opinions about how cars should be? You’re no better than other side if you get your panties in a twist and start fighting and arguing back. Where does that get us as a collective community? How about you get your head out of your ass and experience the world outside of your computer, people. Hellaflush fanboy? Go to a motorsports event. HPDE junkie? Go to a stance meet. Grumpy old man angry at punks modifying future classics? Go to an import car show. 16 year old 240SX or Civic owner? Go to a Cars and Coffee meet. Get out of your comfort zone and check out other aspects of the car community. There’s more out there than your own stupid little clique. Most of this “hate” is fueled by lack of knowledge, so have an open mind and educate yourself and educate others and maybe we can start acting more like a community of car enthusiasts rather than a bunch of whiny ass babies.
P.S. Stop saying “hater”. If someone “hates” on you, your car, or whatever, it means they hate you or something you did, not that they’re “just jelly” and you’re doing it right. This isn’t f@#king opposite day, so stop with that shit. So someone doesn’t like what you do, SO WHAT? The world isn’t going to stop spinning. Move on.

 

god damn thats beautiful

 

Sorry, a 215 tire on a 10" wheel which is mounted to a RWD sports car isn't a matter of respecting others preferences or ignoring negative opinions of such a modification. It's a lack of common sense.

And the best part is the tires are mounted backwards.

But yeah, probably should leave the guy alone, I mean after all, he openly posted pictures and asked for opinions.

I am officially done with this thread.

It's nonsense in it's purest form. I'd rather walk away from stupidity than argue with it and be dragged down and beaten with experience.

 

must say though, i give op props for keeping his cool and being civil even with such conflicting arguments.

yeah that thing is nice as hell. and like I said many times, I don't get offended by opinions. If you think its shit, hey it's your opinion. Thanks to everyone for the comments and checking in the thread! No hard feelings for anyone. You think your thing, I'll do mine. after all, we're all a "community" lol.

btw, these wheels won't be on it forever. I'm gonna be low and slow for alittle while and sell the wheels and boost it on HIGH offset wheels thing is, I love wide tires... only when the car has power to back them up. no point in putting 285's if the car makes 200whp. Once it's boosted, I definitely won't run a 215 lol. 275 at the least.

thanks everyone. everyone has their style and what they like, this is what I like. <3 you all. no homo

 

Best post in the thread hands down.

 

Keep it going lol i don't mind at all.

lol @ your sig. I like.

 

GOD I hate those wheels, I would rather run stock wheels or some 17x7 enkei rpf1 than those CCW and the worst is they cost almost 3gs , CCW on a corvette maybe but not on a car made in japan, come on !!!

And you guys thing is set up is better than the OP, lol at you, i drove slammed like him for a long time and let me tell you right now that this guy probably take is car only once a month and its to go to those photoshoots, cause at that height you cant go anywhere without scrapping,getting stuck on speed bump, getting annoy by the rubbing noises from the tires ,the frame rails,header flange,exhaust ect digging in the ground... so tell me who is the smartest, the guy with a set of wheels who cost 600$ and im assuming will actually daily drive is car or the guy who got money and only want internet fame by buying 4000$ wheels/tires set up and only drive is car to photoshoot !! So i dont see how is 245/285 wheel set up will make is car handle better than other" hellaflush car " when the suspension can only travel an inch and he f@#ked up all the preload of is coilovers.... before talking and bashing and saying this is better than this, you guys should maybe get behind the wheel of your s2k more often and experience things instead of spending time behind a computer !
