I think you have too. So you have no right to talk.
Why don't you go buy some rims for me if you don't like cars rocking stockies? If you aren't gonna then why don't you shut it? I don't see anything wrong with that if I don't have enough cash to get new rims yet.
Never been lowered? You should really get your facts straight before you talk. I'm dropped on TeinSS with EDFC. I don't SLAM it just for looks for no reason. I drop it to a reasonable amount, not too low for my car to handle retarded, and low enough to kill that body roll and faster response.
Brian, no hate for your car or not trying to mess up your thread, I love your car but this guy needs to think before he talks.

There's no theory; stretched tires don't help performance and I'll be the first one to say that. I never tried to argue that is helps performance bc it doesn't for the most part, so idk where the fuck the ricer theory comment comes from. All I was saying is that in a street-driven car that isn't being driven at the limit, it doesn't make that big of a difference. I know my fwd VW is a pig and handles like shit so it doesn't bother me to run wide wheels or stretched tires since I use it to get from A to B and don't feel the need to be a boy racer trying to race people.
Is every mod on your car function>form? Are your coilovers corner balanced and is the car set at the level for optimal handling at that height? Does running big wheels like yours help performance? The unsprung weight and rolling resistance of bigger wheels is actually quite detrimental to all aspects of performance btw. My point is that not everything needs to be function>form, If that were the case, you should have some 255 or 265 tires and some lightweight 17s. How is running stretched tires any different from running oversized wheels or a suspension that isn't properly tuned for optimal handling? It's for looks much like the two mods I just mentioned are, so saying stretching tires is retarded and a stupid fad really doesn't make much sense, since the same could be applied to any other mod people do to their cars.
And it makes me feel really good that you're tearing up the road on your drive home like it's a racetrack. Take it to a road course if you want to do that, public roads aren't a car playground

I agree that not everything needs to be function over form, which is why I have the wheels I do. However, i'm not going to take it one step further and make it handle even worse by poking and stretching
Plus I always thought wider tires look better, especially from the rear. Theres really no point in arguing, you do what you do, and i'll do what I do

Actually my Tein's are corner balanced and it is very close to the optimal height(could be a little higher but i'm not tracking it). I've driven slammed and its horrible, the car feels like its going to glide off the road on the highway. I have my car setup to my driving style, i'm not in it for anything else. I rarely go around street racing/looking for races, so I don't know where that came from. Driving spirited doesn't = being retarded. I'm not weaving in and out of traffic at 100MPH, but if I have the highway to myself at 2AM, i'll have some fun.

And yeah, I wasn't trying to call you out or anything, just wanted to bring a different perspective. Wider tires in the rear definitely look better and a smaller tire stretched on a wide wheel still looks pretty wide from the back haha. But I'll leave it at that, different strokes for different folks for sure

Have you rocked painted stockies?

Not a fan of audi-wanna be mods (LEDs) or stretched tire look, but i gotta give you props for being different.
However, please, leave the staggered wheels to the RWD cars.

This starting to become very funny to me...all these people hatin' on the staggered set-up. As much as they knock us on the forum...all I get is compliments on the look! Most of those compliments and thumbs up...come from Bimmer, Lexus and Mercedes guys!! Imagine that..I get more love from the RWD guys! Keep up the good work B!!

They can bash all they want! It's a car..a body with four wheels under it. If people didn't know any better..they wouldn't care or know the difference. They hate because it doesn't serve a purpose other than looks. Well duh!! That the whole point. I seriously doubt the people I've been in contact with are hatin' on the forums. I've had all kinds of cars. I'm supposed to be impressed because they can do doughnuts and I can't.
