I like that as well..

It would likely have to be an all fibreglass job though, wouldn't it? Or at least from what was said before? And it's kind of a shame that I have to get an entire bar just to use two small parts of it. Unless there's one attached to a wreck somewhere.

I think it makes it look a little more modern, and maybe if the mouth was enlarged a little like what HeRo did with his GPvR, it could work quite well.

Don't suppose you've got any closer pics?

Just trying to decide if I'll go 40 or 45 profile. If I go 45, with a 235 my sidewall is basically the same as stock, but it'll fill out the fender arch a bit more.

Nope its not, way bigger than stock remembering the profile is aspect ratio of width, the 215/40R17 is spot on.

Keep in mind legally can only go 15mm larger in overall diameter from stock....... will explain more when we catch up

Hm. But if I'm understanding it correctly, 235 x 45 = 105.75, and 205 x 50 = 102.5. That's only a 3.25mm difference in the height of the tyre sidewall. Rolling diameter is a lot bigger though.

Yip it goes on rolling dont forget the extra inch in rim size

True that. Not having to worry about the speedo would be a plus.

Wonder when these rotors will be ready for pickup!

I don't have the f**king rims yet you arse.

I don't really want to haul four rims, and four tyres in my car to a shop to get them fitted.

And I thought I was impatient.

This is a good link when looking for rims or tyres.

Let me start making a thread about when bjk will get his tyres installed.

1 for every post about it that you make.

Yeah, but I bet you cheated. Crumpled them all up so they'd fit and then fixed them once you got to the shop.

^ What he said. Did you take them in the FTO? If so, I'm mighty impressed.

There's no logical reason to buy the tyres before I have a chance to fit them anyway.

Sahin · Post by **Sahin** » Mon Jul 01, 2013 9:15 pm

Yes! in the fto! all 8 rims had tires on them and all 8 rims were 17"!!!!

Post by **bjk** » Mon Jul 01, 2013 9:22 pm

Well you could've made that clearer, I thought they were all separate. Point is moot anyway 'cause I won't be doing it.

Sahin · Post by **Sahin** » Mon Jul 01, 2013 9:26 pm

I bet you cant fit 8 in lol
