yea..i can see that with rediculously stretched tires...soemthing stupid like a 205 or 215 on a like a 10 inch wheel or something. (is that even possible?)

but this 225 on this 8.5...it looked really good, and didn't look like it would blow a bead at all.

This is a 20x8.5 i believe with a 225/35 tire

not so rediculous the rim protector bead is, like, facing upward. but stretched enough to give you that looke...that's the look im lokin for

225 on 8.5 would be good. I have 225 on my 8.0" and it's slightly stretch, but not much. I think 235 on 8.0 would be perfectly square.

How about this for stretching... PWAAAA

*Thai.95LCoupe* · 02-19-05, 04:10 AM

Yeah 225/35 on 8.5 is "conservative stretch"

215/35 on 8.5 S T R E T C H E D...

it will fit but the tires will look bloated. Also by going stretched it gives an extra enhancement to the lip/rim size.

Thats almost comparable to 255/30's on a 10 wide rim...

EDIT: (Above) Yeah that's how you S T R E T C H....

Yea man.. you should buy some issues from DVP. He has them in good condition, and sells them at half of what they sell for I think.

dvp · 02-19-05, 06:44 AM

most of the cost is in shipping. but from $5 to $7 each based on the mag quality and the amount you buy. I get them for about $15 a month shipped directly from japan, so i take a loss to disseminate the vip style to my Legend brothers and sisters.

I have 225/35/19's and that is about as far as I will ever go, I think I am lucky to not have more problems with them.

Yea.. but what is the width of your rims. 18"...19"... etc diameter doesn't matter. It's about width of the rim VS tire width.

Yea.. it should almost be squared.

My cousin has 19 X 7.5 also with 225, but funny thing is that his looks more stretched than mine, when I have it on 8".

I guess it depends on tire companies how they make them.

does anyone know the name or where to get the body kit for the RL on page one?

dvp · 02-21-05, 10:12 AM

thats not an RL thats a 2g legend with RL tails, and a custom kit. Probably one from another large sedan made by the Auto Couture company.
