Big thanks to Alex (geralis32) and his Dad. Really friendly people!
15"x 6.5 et 25
15"x 8 et 7
Toyo 165/50 all round

Would have loved to build my own set but these are pretty much perfect. Dom's old wheels btw.

165 looks too thin IMO.

no way man, fitment is everything! 165 is skinny but i say the skinnier the better

i know a guy who stretched 195 50 14's on 14" x 10" wheels! you could see the band down past the lip, it was insane!

hehe the tire is recommended for a 5 to 5.5" rim.

I reckon it looks sweet as, the stretch on the rear lets it have poke while still tucking the tire without scrubbing. The fronts are just the right offset and everything is the right size to get heeps lowz.

(p.s., build the fronts bigger

)
