CrumbMC Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 At risk of taking the thread a bit tbh i think if you're stretching tyres then this is the perfect amount. i know it's hardly any stretch but i think it looks perfect with this stance. now where's the masterbating emoticon?...

docwra Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Hate to be a hater but if youre talking stance that Porsche is weak - you could rehome a family of immigrants in that archgap. Search Rauh Welt to see examples of how stance should be done, like this: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plummerman Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Spanking New from CS fitted yesterday.. No spacers needed as the fill the arch perfect. Sat on Nismo s tune coil overs so dropped by 20mm 19 x 8.5 on 35's Front 19 x 10 again on 35's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrumbMC Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 They look really nice mate. The wheels go really well with the GM car colour as well. Docwra, as cool as that 911 looks, its clearly a track focussed car and I cant imagine you would be able to drive it on anything that isn't as smooth as a pane of glass. I don't think the guys at Singer would like their car being called weak either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suit your car vey well indeed, hope you don't have TC issues with 35's on both axles Graham, they're Hyperblack finish... What tyres do you have fitted as the wheels are best suited to 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 as we fitted to Phils above... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevoD Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Ouch, that mint green one looks expensive. I don't wish bad luck on anyone, regardless of what they do to their car, but I doubt he'd have had an issue if he was running sensible wheels and tyres. *thump* That's me landing, after I finished jumping to conclusions. But then not every wants to be a sheep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cs2000 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) I just don't get what the point of this is unless your suspension has been replaced with solid iron girders to stop the wheels moving(and that this would fall foul of UK MOT laws as the wheels and tyres are past the arch) .

Ian Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Pretty sure its only a fail if the tyre tread is outside of the arch As for why? It looks good when done right 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the guys at Singer would like their car being called weak either Im not going to get in argument over it, but the Rauh Welt cars are road cars, and Im afraid if you start talking about "perfect stance" then 2 inch archgaps have to be pointed out. Ive been a member of the offset police for a fair while now and had some crazy setups myself, you would be surprised what can be achieved without ruining the cars dynamics. Example: My good friend Phil Morrison of Driftworks built a V10 M3 specifically to tear round the Nurburgring. His car looks like this: and goes like the absolute clappers.

Image below stolen from the US site lol, the old rim poke debate. Honeslty, dont belive the hype, the only people who moan its illegal and fail mot's are the people who run gay 8j wheels haha. Ive run 9.5 and 10j on my s14a for 3 years with a 225 and 235 tire with loads of poke and low and never failed an mot or been pulled. its not illegal and is a grey area that no police or test station cares about lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) It's the tread protruding from the arch and not the wheel or tyre that matters. That's another reason stretch tyres are used by some people, as a stretched tyres tread doesn't protrude from the arch and keeps the wheel setup legal. Police aren't really bothered about this sort of thing. HOWEVER if you were ever a part of a coroners investigation of an RTI, the legality of the car would maybe be scrutinised. I used to run a bit of poke on my 330 Clubsport and it looked great. Edited April 9, 2013 by kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cs2000 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Fair enough. In the photo I posted I was more questioning why you would run the tyre 2-3mm from the top of the wheel arch. If the suspension moved EVEN SLIGHTLY you would just rip the tyre to pieces or damage your arches....surely?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the suspension moved EVEN SLIGHTLY you would just rip the tyre to pieces or damage your arches....surely?? Hence why you would run your dampers on the super hard setting....and roll your arches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the suspension moved EVEN SLIGHTLY you would just rip the tyre to pieces or damage your arches....surely?? with some cars and ive noticed the 350 does it as the shock compresses the wheel doesnt just move up it also brings the top of the wheel in so if youve spent time looking into perfect fit offsets/widths/tyres you can run close like that and never hit the arch.

Suit your car vey well indeed, hope you don't have TC issues with 35's on both axles I run 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 and have no TC issues genuine question but do people think that is a tyre has a 35 profile its always the same as in 35mm? and dont know that it stands for 35% of the overall width, as ive seen it here and on american forums people saying got to be carefully running both 35 on the same axle as that doesnt stand for toffee if your running staggered widths?
