- Back to square 1! I had these mounted and balanced for my friend Gabe, decided to record the process for him. Unfortunately it didn't work out the way he had hoped for but it was a funny experience for me and thought I'd still share it with you all!
I'll make another video of his car when he finds a set of wheels he is happy with for style/fitment!

Thanks Jon for the music update. Look forward to your EF videos out here in support OIR. The most informative videos on CZcams. KEEP 'em coming!! 🇺🇸
Anytime! I had to update the last 6-7 videos!!
Also, what's OIR?
Jon Widmer Operation Inherent Resolve
This guy is so calm and awesome.
Thanks man!
Thanks for showing me your video on cutting the bumper bro , was helpful ! Currently trying to cut my on my 91 ef also , just to let you know I hit that subscribe button !
Awesome, good to hear! Go slow so you don't make any mistakes!
Most Underrated CZcamsr
KingAres Really appreciate you saying that, means a lot!
hell yeah I know a lot of us needed this information 🖒
Glad you like the info!! 👍🏻
That was pretty funny. Hope your friend can figure it out. I was actually planning on getting the hypergrams for my EF. But for a track fit, not stance. Now I know I should stick with at least 215/45.
Get the 7.5" wide Hypergrams. Those would fit fine and the 205/50 will fit those perfect.
you make me want an ef so bad very clean Honda!
That's the goal! 😎
looking forward to it I have alot of questions so I'll wait and see what the video clears up before asking lol
Sounds good!!
This setup is noice as fuck...the 15 x8 on 205s makes the car track like I had full-suspension on (if you know what I mean) in the turns the feel of the front loading up and not rolling over on the wheels made me feel like fuck I can push it. He needs to drive on that setup before he trashes it. But I guess for everyday normal driving he wouldn't want to feel planted
Another quality video! I feel bad for your friend :(
Yup, I try to tell him over and over! He never listens!
Jon Widmer He sounds like my wife lol
I'll make sure to tell him that!!
Jon Widmer LMAO!
that looks good as heck! i feel like the owner of the car is selling them for the simple fact that his friend, is saying it looks bad.
No, that's the owner. He wasn't happy with the fit. He envisioned I believe a meaty track look but it ended up being too wide.
I run oversize tires, but i wouldn't even come close to calling that stretch unsafe.
I can't even call that a stretch
Looks perfect on the car
I run a little bit of stretch on all the race tires I run. It really depends on the criteria that need to be met and what the limits of the tire are. I can give a few examples. A 245/40R15 VR-1s on a 15x10s i had 225/45r15 R1Rs on 15x9s. the reason I stretch tires a bit is for more respoonsive turn in. And i also get a little less squirm on undulations.
-Side note I hope to move to a 15x11 with a 275/35 Tire Next Yeat
Agreed on the stretched race tires.
Ironic that I saw this and totally forgot these were Hypergrams. I just ordered the 15x7.5 size in these with some 205/50 S.Drives, so I'm hoping the fitment is perfect. Also, I got the wing you mentioned in a recent video and aside from a slight fitment issue on the driver side and it being way brighter/more clean than my actual car (lol) I love it!
Casey Hardman you'll be set with that fit, what's the offset on the 7.5's? I like the S drive tires a lot too. They have a nice sporty look and some great grip for your cruise videos! Did you get the white gel costed wing?
They have a 35mm offset, so it should sit pretty square with the 205s! And I did! I had to remove the spray nozzle for it to fit, but other than that, it's great.
Casey Hardman That'll fit great, you might need a little negative camber in the rear if you have DA rear discs, if you'll still on drums or CRX Si discs, it should be flush! Make a new video when it's ready, I'd like to see the fitment!
Oh I'll be getting it aligned at the same time since the Innovative traction bar will need adjusted. I'll definitely be doing an update video soon!
Casey Hardman what’s the weight of your wheels with that setup? (205/50r15 on these konigs)
Looks dope bro
Yo, thanks man!
Got the same wheels 15x7.5 +35 with 225/45 and have no issues with fitment. Of course with rolled fenders and about 2 degree of camber
You picked the perfect size!! Got any pics or an Instagram I can check out?
lookin good Jon!!!! Never been a fan of the stanced scene either. a friend of mune had a stanced ek and the amount of work he had to put in just to get out of his driveway was exhausting. all the stepped down pieces of wood. rode horrible and handled horrible too. of course it had to have the buddy club spec 2 on it. that kind of forged in me a desire for function over everything. kiss principle with choice,simple mods. stance has its place in the scene but i never understood it.
Agreed, but this wasn't too bad of a stretch,p. The wheels were just too wide and the offset too much to fit on this car. These probably would have fit your car like a baller! Lol
Updates coming soon. Ive been busy.
Cool, looking forward to it!
I JUST ordered a set of 15x8 +25's for my 89 wagovan.....I'm praying that the 1/2 inch narrower wheel will give me a niiiice flush fit.
*Crosses fingers*
*If you're reading this, please cross your fingers*
Just depends on tire size next
it's sad to see this new scene with stretched tires on hatches or any ride... if they only knew how capable there civic is with the right Tire and suspension set-up peeps would think twice.
Agree 💯%!
You didn't say specifically in the video, what aspect of these wheels caused the fitment to be so off? Was it the width? Offset? Or a combination of both? Looking at wheels for mine and don't want to end up like this. Isn't 8.5 really wide for an EF?
Ray Evans Combination of both. An 8" wide can fit fine but you'll need an offset between +35 to +40. You'll see plenty of track EFs that run those specs. Some negative camber will also be needed and as well as rolled fenders to fit that spec. He could've just ran a lot of negative camber but that wasn't his plan.
Would the 15x7.5 35 Hypergrams fit alright without excessive negative camber? Love the looks of the wheel, but hate the stance look with tons of camber. Thanks for the response!
Ray Evans Yes, much better. Check out this video by Casey Hardman. He just got a set of the Hypergrams in that exact spec. czcams.com/video/9hLKhcz1Hdk/video.html
Jon you have the best ef channel by far. I watch every channel you put out. Do you mind sharing your song choice for this video? Btw my daily driver is a 91 si Tahitian green hatch my father bought new. Thanks in advance!
Thanks so much for the support, it means a lot!! I'll update the video with the song and I'll respond here when I do. I'm on my phone and away from my laptop at the moment!
Updated music credit!
Those are some actually nice konig wheels.
I was planning to do 225/45 or 225/50 on my del sol, but I don't know if it will fit my car. Should fit though on my sprint harts.
Alfredo Robles It'll fit but might look very beefy if they are only 7" wide, even worse if they are 6.5". I'd only get those sizes on a 7.5 or 8 wide wheel. You planning on a new set of wheels?
Is that Gabe? Lol! How funny!
Yes, you know him buddy!!
I was about to pull trigger on some jnc 16x8 25et for some good black Fridays deals but I need to hold off and find a wheel I like at 16x8 35et. I don't wanna risk sticking out like this.
Exactly, I'm not a fan of that crazy poke either.
This is great. I have 15x6.5 and it was a major toss up between Dz-102 and S.Drive. I ended up getting the S.Drive. 195/50r15. In my opinion 205 are to much in Ef chassis. S.drive were less $ and have better Utqg rating. Tire tread rating. And man I've been impressed with them ever since. Highly recommended. I want to try the Dz-102 next but I'll probably get the s drive again.
+Kyle Govan 205/50 are too much for a 6.5" wide wheel. An 8" wide tire on that skinny of a wheel makes it too bubbly, now on a 7" wide wheel it's perfect. The 205/50 on 15x7" is my favorite size for tires on an EF.
The S Drive are much stickier with the 300 TW rating, but they will wear out faster compared to the 460 TW on the Dunlop. My friend bought the Dunlop because the car is daily driven 98% of the time. The other 2% he might be driving it hard, but it's rare. I really like the way the Dunlop feel. I just got a used set of S Drives on my new track wheels which I'll swap to a different set of wheels and I'm axnious to see how those feel, especially after hearing your opinion also!!
Coilovers and camber kits could've solved the fitment issue now that I come back to this video again. Could've got the car corner balanced and tucked at all 4 corners and then dialed in 3 degrees in the back and 2.5 up front and that should've cleared them.
Anyone have some suggestion for my fitment? I use bbs chr front 16x7 et40 and rear 16x8,5 et30 on my honda city 2006..
Using 195/45 for front and 225/40 for rear its good? Or maybe 205/45 front and rear? you or anyone can help me? Need some advice..
Hey Jon! Wanted to get your suggestions on this, I have a 91 civic sedan but I wanted to lower it with aftermarket coilovers but I wanna get it somewhat how your civic si looks as far as fitment. What wheels can I get without needing to roll the fenders? Thanks a bunch!
7 wide and 35 or higher offset. Probably a 195/50 or 55 tire also.
I've got some ffd wheels 15x8 +32... 225/45r15. They look good on my eg hatch and they will most likely end up on a ef sedan if I ever find a tan/brown ex
+Robert Reid that's a perfect setup and size too for these older Hondas.
damm u guys got sum nice whips good looking wheels! would dat fitment work on my da with stock suspension,i like the stretch tire look and dont want to lower my DA that much anyway because i love the ride , feel of stock. suspension! loving the content keep up the great work,it's appreciated!✊✌☝☝
On a DA it would probably fit well. I know the DA has a much larger wheel well. I would go with a 16" for a DA though. That body looks good with a larger size!
Jon Widmer whats NARU stand for? just wondering! Thanks!
are you from california? I like this wheel didnt know they have 8.5 is there any new 15x9 wheels besisdes 949 racing?
singlecams I'm in Texas. Konig Helix comes in 15x9, I believe Advanti Racing Storm and possibly the Konig Dial In. All good flow formed wheels for good prices too!
+25 on anything over a 7 is going to be tough to fit on an EF without a bunch of camber. haha They have a 7.5 +35 in that wheel, so they would look good. I want the wheels on the wagon!
Spot on Casey, my friend knows this too, he can just be so impatient and hard headed!! He had some Enkei 92's in the 15x8 with a 195/50 and he already knew the fit.
Oh I'm the same way, so I understand! lol
my 15x8 et12 fit well with a little oem camber low and 195 45
mines slammed with a 195 50 on 15x8 and the front in turns can barley fit a playing card in between the tire and fender
I had those same dunlops. They look more stretched than most tires because of that little lip by the bead that kind of pushes the sidewall out.
👍
I know you said it's gun metal. But are those the matte gray wheels? Can't find the hypergram in gun metal. Did you paint it yourself. Just wondering because that color is sick and I'd get it
These are stock. I believed it is the matte gray one. It's been a long time since he's had these though.
@@GarageBuiltHondas for sure, thanks for the reply back 👍
Hey Jon, for the wheels on your si. Did you had to roll your fenders? And mind if you can give me the size , width and offset of those wheels. Thank you
Yes, plus negative camber. 15x7+35 205/50
If you would’ve ran -3 camber it would’ve been fine and for track use -3 is perfect I wouldn’t even call that a stretch
Perfect setup for a miata.
I agree
I have a question maybe you could help me.. I'm looking for a medium aggressive look, a track look ... 15x8 +20 205/50 I was thinking.. i have a 1997 integra not slammed to the ground and fender are pulled/rolled already.. any input would be highly appreciated.. thank you
You'll need some camber to help that offset stay under the fenders but it should be ok.
What's the wheel spec for the right side of the hatch? I love the way that fitment looks!
John widmer
Enkei J Speed in 15x7 +38 with 195/50 tires
@Garage Built Hondas I have a 2000 Civic DX. I ordered new SI wheels and some Hankook Ventus V2 205/50 R15. My brother who’s a mechanic and has worked on Hondas most of his life told me they would fit but when I got the tires today, I must say they look wide as hell. I’ve checked online to see if I’ll have a problem and I haven’t found anywhere where it says I will but shit the tires look so wide lmfao.
Looks good though doesn't it?
@@GarageBuiltHondas I’ll find out Saturday when I get them mounted and balanced lol
Nah, they'll look great. I've seen those in that size on stocks. You'll dig it!
@@GarageBuiltHondas I’m glad to hear that cuz I was nervous they wouldn’t look right lol. Thanks 👍🏻
👍
Stretch tires 😂.... I see you have Falken Azenis 😎 Nice!
Glad you got a kick out of it too! I love those Azenis, great tire for the price and grip is still good!!
Love your page, subscribed. I wish I was brave enough to do youtube. lol
You should, you'll gain confidence over time and I bet you'll even grow to really enjoy it!! I love making videos, it's always a lot of fun!
What was the tire size specs on your Si in this video where you have it on the background with 15x7 +35 wheels on please?
205/50
I'm not a fan at all of stretched tires either. But those are fine. You actually don't want too wide of a tire if you plan on track or autox as the tire will be sloppier and fold over on itself. If it's just for style, then yeah, it looks a little goofy.
Agree!!
Is there any risk to having a 15x7.5 or 16 or 17 with a 235/45 tire? I'm looking for that fat tire small wheel look. How wide can I go assuming so fitment issue?
It really depends on the car and the wheel well. I'd Google some of those sizes that you are interested in and see what you like. You'll find images for every size.
Love how clean the car you have are ^^
Andres Duran appreciate it!!
I have an ef and i want to get some rpf1s. i was thinking about 15x7 +35. what do you think would be a good size for a street/track setup?
That's perfect
Garage Built Hondas with 205/50s you think?
Perfect! (15x7+35 205/50) is my favorite setup
The fronts could work, the rear definitely not haha. I like Darin Nishimura's 15x9 +36 and 15x8 +36 with 225/45's. I really think that's the maximum a stock EF can use and be functional. Even then, you have to dial in the camber perfectly.
BattleGroundAuto He's from WestEnd correct? if that's him I'm familiar with it and love it. That fit is on point!!
Yep exactly! I haven't ever met him but his shop is legendary and there was a feature done on his blue hatch a while back. It is just a good car haha. I plan on copying as much of it as I can lol. I got a ton of parts going on the hatch this upcoming month and I'm seeing what wheels come in 15x9 +35-36 other than the 6ul's to finish it off. I have a long history with RWD but something about the EF is just so amazing.
Would a +35 offset stick them out even further?
Thinking of 15x8 + 35 for an AWD wagon!
Those should fit really nice
@@GarageBuiltHondas thanks for that!! :)
Any suggestions for me? I bought 4, te37 15x8 +20mm offset, wheels. For my 2010 Honda Fit sport, everything is stock. I don’t know what tires to get for them😭
A lot of people run 205/50 on an 8. Should help give you a little clearance under the fenders too.
Where'd you get that EF poster?
My wife and I have an old high school friend who started designing clothing after high school and does artistic stuff. She had him make it for me for my bday 3 years ago! I'll show it up close in a future video!
I own a 91 civic hatchback and I really don’t know what size wheels fit. I’ve heard that 15 and 16 inch are the best but any suggestions???
15x7 fit well
So I’m in the market to buy new wheels and tires. I’ve been told to do 6.5 with 0 offset for my Sedan. The question I have is that is 195/45/15 (or something like it?) I believe and it seems quite small to me. I wanted to run at least a 7 inch but I’m worried about fitment. I want to run a small amount of camber in the back like just a few degrees and I don’t want to mess with the fenders at all. So I’m wondering if you have any suggestions?
+Lane Browning I've seen a lot of Cali cars with those old school wheels that have low offset with thin tires. It seems like it'll be a close fit, but I've never had any experience with it. I'm a fan of meat tires and functional stance so I'm not the best option. Maybe as a few of the guys on Instagram what they run when you see a post.
Garage Built Hondas I am the same way which is why I ask someone who knows lol. I like track stance and thicker tires personally. Show stance with some camber is cool but I pick functionality
+Lane Browning Especially if you're driving it frequently. Let me know what you decide on when you get a set.
Maybe I miss the info, but what is the wheels setup for the blue hatchback??
15x7+35
I think its a nice stretch
I need advice I want to run 225/45/15 on a 15x7 do you think I’ll be able to pull it off
Easily, and it'll look nice and meaty. What's the offset on the wheels though?
hey jon, how do you think these hypergrams would fit in a 15x7.5 with a 195/45 on an EF?
Easily! Look up a youtuber names "Casey Hardman". He has them on his hatch but he has 205/50 tires if I remember. The 195/45 will fit easy especially if you want to be real low!
Garage Built Hondas not trying to be suppeerr low but a nice drop like your Si
Garage Built Hondas thanks for looking out!
might grab those falken azeni's that you have on there ;) are those 205/50?
Carlos Maybe go for a 195/50 then instead. The 45 series will be pretty skinny and you'll have to be real low to make it look good. The 50 give you a little more meat.
Garage Built Hondas
What rims are on your blue EF?
Which video?
widmer I have an edm ej9 I want to get 15x8 but need to be careful with the offset it cant not stick out or I can get the car inpounded due to I live in Italy and we cant do sh.... to our cars due to dot rules regulations and bla bla what offset can you recommend me 0et or 38et any help will be great nice vid by the way I seen almost all of them
With that 15x8 I would get the 38et. You can run a 205/50 tire on that 15x8 and have a really flush look without popping out. That 0et would definitely make the wheels stick out and bring unwanted attention. Thanks for the support!
Will the 15×7.5 35 hypergrams clear itr calipers on a da knuckle?
I do not know. You'd have to do some digging around online to see people who have used that setup before.
jon what size wheel and tire would you recommend for my ef?
Jose Correa 15" is probably the best size. The tire size will depend on the width of the wheel and how things/meaty you want it to look.
Jon Widmer 195/50r15
15x6.5 or 15x7 will be best for that tire size
Jon Widmer thank you man i appreciate the info good job on the videos keep up the good work
would the 15x7.5 +35's give me a flush fit on my 95 Coupe?
Definitely!
I used to have some 15x8's with 165/45's
+Rosario Salinas how did that ride on such a skinny tire?
What’s your wheel/tire setup?? Please let me know. Also the setup w/JSpeed rims?
Both are in the video! 👍
What exact wheels are you running on yours man looks amazing and what are the specs

ok thank you!! Im going to buy them but before i do is there anything else you bought for them being that I am purchasing them from a company that specializes in Mazda.
Yes, tires. Lol
do you have a mpfi conversion video up? everyone I've seen in CZcams are not thorough like your videos are.
Not yet, been working on it!
I need new rims and tires on my 1994 eg 2 door I like the rims to have a lip. What would you guys recommend, thks
That's really up to you. There's a lot of styles with a lip. It's more up to what you can afford.

How wide are the Konig wheels?
Garage Built Hondas Im trying to use 15” since the stock wheels of my car is 15”
Garage Built Hondas so Im just trying to change the wheels of my car not include the tires of it boss.
They should fit unless you're going with a really "wide" wheel. I understand the diameter is 15" but if you use like a 6.5" or 7" wide you'll still be fine.
Garage Built Hondas sweet! Im ready to order now, appreciate your reply boss have a good night.
Can you please tell me the measurements of the blue EF behind you I want my car to sit at that exact height
Measurements of?
@@GarageBuiltHondas Your coil overs
At the time Tokico Blues with Skunk2 coilovers
how well would 15x8 et 0 run in the rear?
If you're an offset/camber guy who likes skinny tires on wide wheels, they'll fit well with rolled fenders and camber. You'll need a 195/45 tire probably to be happy.
What size rim and tire is your Storm S1?
15x7 205/50
@@GarageBuiltHondas tnx
Lol and I had thought about putting 195/45 toyo proxes on my 15x8.5 Klutch wheels..... mostly what I'm concerned about is I don't drive like a grandma I don't want to corner too hard and roll onto the sidewall.... anyone have experience with this tire size and wheel?
i have 195/45 proxes on my 15x8.5 drag wheels 20+ offset. there is a huge stretch and unless you have camber kits and coilovers your going to have a hard time fitting them low.
Noah Pollack I'm more concerned about popping them to be honest because of the stretch. Do you beat on yours?
nice fitment ...been trying to find the right fitment for my wagon .flush is not my style
kendrick Lamar I like the track styled look even on my daily drivers also.
Jon Widmer by any chance do you know of any rear performance crossmembers for the wagovan?
What if I get 15x7.5 +35 what tires should I get?
205/50
Garage Built Hondas thanks 🙏🏼
15x8 +35 225/45/15 best fitment ever!
I agree, that size is barely a hair larger than the 205/50 too!
I just purchased a 15x8 +35 with 225/45/15 tires, they'll be going on my DA9. If my calculations are right they should fit nicely and work well for track days.
Damnitsrandum16 Those will fit great especially for the DA. You have a larger when well and that offset will be perfect. Which wheels did you go with?
I got the wheels on ebay, its the Traklite Burn. Its basically a flow formed cast wheel. makes them pretty light (12.5lbs each). its basically a rota slipstream in 15x8 and a bit lighter
I'll make a quick video of my setup when the wheels come in so you can check them out.
What’s the fitment on the blue ef in the beginning
@ :38 seconds in.
I think they look good..
They'd fit with some pretty heavy negative camber but he wasn't shooting for that look.
jon what do you think about 205/50/15 on some rota grid 15x7 +20 offset on a crx stock ride height
Gonna have to run some camber so they don't rub in the rear, the fronts no issue at all.
Garage Built Hondas even at stock ride heights.
You'll be fine with that. Might look a little mexi-flush if you know what that means.
love those j speed wheels one of my fav wheels out there
Me too, super sleek!
What are spec j speed and offset. Those are beautiful wheels! Yah modern wheels I dislike. Classics I prefer! Good olde video!

He sold them a long time ago.

No prob! You can scoop em up online pretty cheap, I believe like $550-600 for a set.

I've seen a lot worse looks before, definitely not the craziest wheels I've seen, but I'm sorry it didn't come out the way he thought it would
Agreed, he's almost pushing the mexi-flush look in the rear. Haha
Jon Widmer the white Ef looks great even if it wasn't what u wanted homie great looking cars non riced out makes me proud to own a Honda like u pimps
SmOkEoUt hell yeah man! This guy is actually probably going to put the 195/50's on the Konig and camber the rear in a little bit. I'll make a small updated video if he does!

look nices

What tire size is on the blue Civic ??!!!
205/50
i run 8.5 in the front and 9.5 in the rear with 215 40 16 on mk mk4 jetta
👍🏻
What wheel size do you have on your wago?
15x7 in this video
Garage Built Hondas i bought a set of wheels 15×8 +25 haven't tried them yet and already have a feeling they won't look good for my wago
Try some 205/50 tires, have a little camber and don't slam it. It should fit well on the wagon. They have bigger arches. It should have a nice meaty stance.
Garage Built Hondas thanks for the info. I'll try those.
You're welcome
them wheels would fit fine on a ek chassis
👍🏻
at3:48, what was the purpose of that pop? He had to use that air thing. also why didn't he go 15x7 in the rear with the same wheel type and leave 15x8 up front. with being fwd, i would say that is fine.
kracksmith4ejm1 The reverse stagger would be sweet especially for a track car. His is just a daily driver though. The compressor air blown onto the tire helps set the bead. since the tire is stretched it doesn't reach the edges of the wheel, when the compressed air is shot onto the edges it fills into the tore stretching it to the bead, thus the pop into place when the bead sets.
What did he expect lol. Oh well, live and learn. I think 8 width is perfect for the EF. Unless he wants to run the Osaka front fenders and a custom rear flare.
Now that would be the shit, those Osaka fenders are badass! He said it too, "live and Lear", I'm hoping he learns this time. Haha
Jon Widmer are you working on any projects right now that you are going to flip?
Ryan Ramirez None right now, I haven't found any!
Not the worst stretch I've ever seen, but people get to obsessed trying to chase a look. He might have still been OK if he had gone with a higher offset to keep it from pushing out so far.
I think so too, an 8" with a +35 offset would fit well. I've seen that size on a handful of EF's!
Those would look good on a crx
They are a really nice looking wheel!
Too bad the stretch didn’t work out thinking of getting a set of these
It'd work. Needs more camber and more pulling of the front fender. My friend didn't want to run it like that.
@@GarageBuiltHondas Anyone have some suggestion for my fitment? I use bbs chr front 16x7 et40 and rear 16x8,5 et30 on my honda city 2006..
Using 195/45 for front and 225/40 for rear its good? Or maybe 215/45 front and rear? you or anyone can help me? Need some advice..
I would Google the tire sizes on the wheel sizes and look at some images. There's a pretty good amount of tire pictures online to get an idea of what you're looking at. I'd also Google some inages of your vehicle to see some other wheels package installed.
@@GarageBuiltHondas u have recomend?
I don't. I couldn't tell you what fits well on a Honda City, I'm not familiar with the body and wheel wells.
cool channel and videos man, I have 90 Civic Si I'm building, and I got some questions, hopefully you can read this and help me please
Thanks Kevin! I try to respond to every comment!
Jon Widmer I have some questions about the key switch, is there any way to fix the buzzer that makes sound when you turn the key to ignite?
Kevin Martinez Honestly not sure, I have never looked into it. If I have time tomorrow I'll research it and see what I find out!
Jon Widmer thanks
205/50 on 8.5inch is not that much
Stage 1 stretch only
Lol it looks like how a old guy buys 18 inch wheels for his truck and then puts a balloon tire on it not a off road tire but a regular street tire that is just looks like it could float on water
Hahaha
15x9 with 205/50 isn't even a stretch, 50 is a good amount of sidewall. if you see it in person it is not stretched at all, and there are a lot of fast miata racers running that kind of setup.
It's technical a stretch as a 205 is only 8" wide. Racers do it for less sidewall flex in corners which I understand completely.
Rpf1s are the only way to go. They're like 9lbs a wheel
+themonolithian I like RPF1's also, they are timeless!!
