okay, how do you want to do the trade?
WRONG, there is a happy medium. just like how there can be 16", 17", 18", 19", 20" wheels. no one really barks about 18"s cause its more of a perfect size. yes some rock 17's and few rock 19's, those who do, CANT satisfy everyone. same with tires, for the width of wheel u have, theres a tolerance of "correct tire width" that people wont notice, too small and people notice, too big and people notice.

BUT yea people have their own taste, and there is no need to please anyone else but urself.

The fact there are so many subbie guys running aggressive setups makes it a bit more acceptable over there. Nearly no one on 8club does it so when I threw the thread out there people were hating. You guys should see my thread from when I had 18x9.5 +12 takata cr kais LOL!

For many, wheels are no permanent venture. I've had everything from 275 on a 9.5" to 235 on a 10.5" and honestly, its just super fun to change it up. Those who see wheels as a lifelong venture are the ones who are blind and unable to grasp the concept of trying something different.

Thanks for the <3 guys, I actually had a friend post them for sale a while back because I was under 50 posts but now I'm seriously considering keeping them and refinishing/powder coating them something wild.

Well I think of wheels as a life long venture (as in I like to keep the ones I really like), but I love having different sets to switch up :P There are some wheels I just can't sell haha.

haha I have 255 on a 10" wide wheel right now as well and most people are like why are you not running the Fattest TIRE you can on there like 275
I like Stretch Tire personally Not a big fan of super Meaty tires tho Widest I think I will Run on a Race style setup will be 265 probably on a 10.5" wide wheel. slight stretch

Main thing is to just do what YOU LIKE. That is what is most important because at the end of the day its YOUR CAR not someone else and its YOUR MONEY you are putting into it not someone else. Unless of course some one want to pay me to put something on my car and the Price is Right I will do it

I had on my First set of wheels 275 on a 10.5" wide wheel and they where even slightly stretched I like the look and now run a 255 on a 10" wheel

Good point on the wheels too. They are not something permanent so some people shouldn't freak out about someones taste in wheels and tires or whatever.

I do personally feel that wheels can be one of the easiest yet biggest changes in making your car look different That is why I want to start to have a collection of wheels like how a friend has for his to cars I think for his 2 cars he has 8 Sets of wheels and tires and he just like switching it up every once in a while and they do make the world of difference on his cars

I need to get a Picture of his Spare Bedroom with all his Sets of wheels in it and his Garage to show you guys

I started a similar thread over at 8club but the amount of blind hating was ridiculous, pretty much set the thread on a course for failure! Haha...
