                • Are you going to stretch them out dude, or just leave them normal?

                  • the 185s bulge.. that's just not cool. 165s should be pretty much straight walls. 155s will be streched... they couldn't find a 155 though.... i'm still hunting though.. any one know of a particular model of tyre that xomes in 155/55/14?

                        • ok sweet. thanks dude. i'll make them look for it... they've ordered the 165 yokohamas. i'll get them to put one on first if it sux, i'll ask them to order the toyos in, they have toyo teo listed on their web site.

                          • toyo teo plus in 155/55 is $155 per tyre. yokos were only $101.



                            much better. what do you think?? is it really worth the extra $200 for a little bit of stretch?

                            once again. only had my lunch break to got this done. i'll take it for a spin and put some pics up later this afternoon or tomorrow.

                            i'll have to look into getting these pulled apart and painted up hopefully it's possibe to ad and extra inch at the front and 2 at the back... wont be cheap.
