Ekona Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Wheels + tyres aren't allowed to protrude past the arches, which those most definitely are. Actually, the TREADED area of the tyre isn't allowed to be visable from the top of the arch. Which those aren't Hence why stretched tyres and camber are used. Umm, if you look at the offside rear you can clearly the top of the tyre sticks out past the top of the arch. That bit definitely has tread on, so that counts That white one looks equally retarded, sorry! That is simply never going to be drivable to any extent that you could call fun, and I'm very much a fan of driving cars rather than just looking at them.

Jord Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Look again, the tyres are stretched [look at the bottom of the tyre to see how much stretch] - this brings the actual area with cut tread inside the lip of the fender. If that area was treaded above the lip of the rim they'd be the lowest profile tyres ever made, like a 10 profile or something . Trust me, the tread is inside the arch - the sidewall is outside of the arch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M13KYF Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 wouldn't like to see htis one try and get around any bend in this country. Reckon it would need to do a 3 point turn at at junction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jord Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Fair enough. Still looks awful though. Fair enough, but THATS a matter of personal taste. I think sunken skinny wheels on cars and gaping arch gap looks awful . But you were stating illegality which was incorrect If anyone in the UK fancies fitting some man-sized wheels I have some for sale - viewtopic.php?f=32&t=24572 Be brave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jord Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 True, not many people running more aggressive offsets with those widths though I don't think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stretched tyre look is an aquired taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
