Basically I'm looking to have the most tire possible touching the pavement.
Plan to run 17x8.5 wheels with whatever drag radial rubber I can find for a good value. I have a friend who runs a little too wide tires for his car, the only problems that he has are 3 point turns and hard U turns. considering we have a pretty tight radius now, I wouldn't mind sacrificing some radius for GRIP. I'll just have to drive it like a truck or something lol. So first off, is it possibly? anyone running 8.5" wheels front and back? and what offset is needed to pull it off? Thanks guys. -------------------- |
