What do you guys think of this look? I have only seen one guy pulling this look. V35 i think.

Don't forget a few hella fine rolls of carbon fiber look tape.

LOL... the cartoon was good. I think the look is great. I didnt not say this was going to be bagged. It going to be righ on the TIRE. Not the rim. They are going to be thin for sure but if cars can drift on these wheels im sure you can still ride the hello out of them. I dont track my car at all but i will after i get this just to see how it rides. Duane996tt... i got some hella fine rolls of carbon if you need it. Let me know. Might help your tt out.

Same here, luv looking at european cars with a little touch of street mods to it, with stretched tires and slamming the suspension. I've got a fren with a CLS 500, running 9x20, with 235/30/20 (Sick stretch) looks sick as well though hahaha

Huh? You mean a 215/35 and 275/30? The sizes you posted don't exist.....

Secondly, those tires are too narrow for your rim sizes. You're risking the bead separating from the rim and crashing your car. Technically you're just at or below the minimum width tire you should be running. However, it's obvious you don't care about performance and looks is all that really matters, so you may be fine driving the car like a grandma with those narrow tires.

Because the OP is obviously a poser that only cares about appearance and not performance. To each their own it's his car!
