wow... 245 on a 7.5 in wheel... what posessed you to do that... not saying that its a bad thing but people were pushing me to put a 245 on my 9.5" rear wheels in my last setup... just weird trying to imagine that...

i think im just gonna try my luck on rolled fenders only like i had on my 6th gen and it sat pretty well with out having to get my fenders pulled. Im debating a stag setup again because i love turning so im def not putting anything higher than a 8.5 up front... maybe 9 if im lucky... im just looking for the right wheels...

any idea which dude on v6p it was with the sedan?? im just curious because like said ive seen coupes left and right but never any sedans

There's one guy on v6p that has some ridiculous wheel set up on his sedan.  Honestly man, you're not going to get much love here when it comes to the hellaflush trend.  One reason is because it's unsafe.  Stretching a tire on a wheel that's too wide for what the tire is intended for will result in failure.  Running excessive camber on your car will adversely affect it's handling and make it harder to control.  I have a hard time supporting a trend that will cause your car to be dangerous to drive.  An actual "flush" wheel looks good, but that poked and stretched stuff takes it way too far and looks terrible.  I'm not willing to risk my safety and the safety of other people on the road so I can try and look cool.  Sorry man, but if you want to go for that trendy stuff, try the guys over on v6p.  They'll tell you it looks cool without any regards to your safety.  If you really want to make your car functional and choose mods that will actually improve your performance, stick around and pay attention.

I mean to be honest, i love poke and stretch on wheels but when i did it last, i did it a reasonable stretch and poke where i did keep my car more functional than style... but it looked good... and i know how every one mixes up the whole hella flush theme with like the whole JDM vip trend to have camber thats about -30 degrees and a 195 tire on a 10 inch wheel... that is NOT what i am looking for... for me, its all about a good stance for instance... one member on here blackhawk or what ever his user name is has a good stance that i really love which is what i want to go for

My goal in all honesty is to keep the car nice, clean and flush and like i said, i hate tuckin in the wheel well... i personally think it looks bad but thats just my opinion. and plus since I am adding a K supercharger to the car, i would need to keep the car more functional than anythning else

Well definetly make it to some of the NYCM meets that randomly pop up from time to time. Where upstate are you located at? Where in BK are you from?

well im from brooklyn... bedstuy to be exact... im movng back next year but currently i am in the new paltz/poughkeepsie area. i went to school up here and just kinda stuck around for a little bit longer to do my masters... I think ive been to one of your meets... well technically it was an all honda meet out in hecksher state park earlier this year... there is a bunch of 7th gens on here that i recognize so some of you guys most definitely have seen me in my 6th gen

well 1st is by not being a Knick fan...lol >Cheesy

ive been a knicks fan since i was about 5 years old... always loved them... i know they suck right about now but sooner or later, they would be as good as before when they almost beat the bulls to make it to the finals... right now, i just cross fingers that they win... thats all i got

how come there are no sedans with serious flush wheels... or even poke... i personally hate the wheel looking sunk once you lower it... even on a 9in or 10in wheel... ive seen coupes but what about sedans?

that sounds cool but you always have to factor in unexpected cost.... ive been trying to pay off my credit card for months now... i literally only have 450 on it BUT, food shopping, gas, etc comes in to play and then the  moment i get a pay check, i just payed off what i spent  on it in necessities
