But then why would the OP get tires meant to go on a much skinnier rim than that 8" monstrosity? Looks like crap if you ask me.

I'm not sure just yet if I like it or not. Post up pix when it's painted of a distance view of the car and I'll give my opinion then.

that my friends is called stretch!! i came from vw's but never was a fan of stretching. its actually quite usefull and makes a little sense for tracking your car. witht he tire stretched a little bit, there is less flex in the sidewall

I like the look of it. What kind of rims are they?

Also, what'd you do to that Si? Was the paint that bad?

I honestly don't get it.
You guys will bash anything and everything, but then when somebody with this weird looking wheel, tire combination, (that obviously doesn't look right) you guys get all goo goo ga ga and start drooling.

Doesn't anybody else agree that this bug eyed looking combo doesn't look right? It looks like the tire just wants to burst off the rim. The wheels also stick out passed the fender of the car. Kinda reminds me of the early 90's when people used to do that to their lowriders when they had those 12" 100 spoke gold plated daytons on their cars that stuck out about 6".

Maybe I just don't get it.
