Makes me wonder how much power that car has to necessitate those wheels. Unless its just a style thing. Either way, I'm impressed.

wow way overkill. the widest tires that a gt4 would need would be 245-255.
you cant even make a full turning radius with 245 tires. This post has been edited by BonzaiCelica: Dec 27, 2012 - 3:15 PM -------------------- Group buy to replicate Narrow E series transaxle parts

Looks stupid, going to destroy the fenders.
That said I have 295/40/18s on the front of my rx7. In hindsight I shouldnt have went that big. 275's would have been ok. 335's on the rear and they dont seem big enough. -------------------- -93 Rx7, Turbo 6.1L v8, 725rwhp/760rwtq

the motor and turbo look entirely stock, retuned and possibly rebuilt

You need a lot of traction for hard parking and dyno queening.

I believe it is just about impression or first step of huge rebuild. For what I saw under the bonnet there is no sense having that wide tires

So much traction, until you hit water... and besides, with how much that car has to strain to make it's self move now, you're not going fast enough to slip anyway. Rear wheel arches will cut into the tire pretty nice too. I'd hate to be that cars differential.

With a good fender-pull or some nice, custom overfenders, that'd look pretty sick. But is it necessary? Hell to the no.

Wide tires don't help with traction as much as you'd think. Tall tires with low air pressure are much better at getting traction. Wide tires are for wide rims
