Ban Happy Zero wanted to see the tyres(see Nick, I'm so German, I type like them LOL)

Last years rims and tyres on bottom, new hotness on top....



Height difference


Width Difference


And the size...

[STANG302]

Those 215/35 looks wider than the old 215/45. Or am I seeing things?

[o2designs]

Yeah, thats what I was trying to explain last night. For some reason, BFG makes two difference 215 widths...LOL

[Eleanor Focus]

Here are what the spec differences should be. By the looks of the new skins, they won't fit the Focus. Weird

I have only one thing to say, rub, rub,rub,rub.

[Steve@Tasca]

Yeah, thats what I was trying to explain last night. For some reason, BFG makes two difference 215 widths...LOL

I don't remember exactly how it works but the 215 and 35 work in proportion to each other so it actually does make sense that they would be different widths.

BTW- Did I mention rub,rub,rub,rub?

[Sucka612]

I'd say DUB DUB DUB... Kyle you should really consider showing in the DUB auto show.

[Pappy]

Damn dem bitches, be WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE.

[o2designs]

Rog at The Tire Rack says its the exact size to run for my rim size and susp. Apparently the 18s really mushroom up when mounted. Which pisses me off, I wanted alittle Euro Stretch, but sounds like that won't be happening...LOL

And yeah, they'll prob rub. My current 17's rub anyway. So I already rolled the fenders, and the new rims don't have such an aggresive offset, so it'll push the tire back in.

Can you help me roll some fenders? I need to roll them, so I can lower the coilovers down a bit more

[focinite]

well there gose the back seat........no fat chicks fer o2!!!!!! oh and to say curful over dem bumps!!! start rubbin a hole in the top of the wheel well

[o2designs]

Actually, I've said no to fat chick a long time ago, but for other reasons. LOL And I don't the car will rub anymore then it did with the 17s.

[Sucka612]

I still think it's a good choice. (going with 18's... ok maybe the fat chick for whatever reason that was)

[Sucka612]

Kyle, or anyone interested, DUB registration is open now

[o2designs]

Bump, I know Davis wanted to see this...
