Stockies (nood question)

Does any one have any pics of stockies on a lower profile tire lowered? i have coilovers and need two new rear tires. Wondering what would look like or if they would look to small with a smaller tire wall.

Your VSA may complain if your rear diameter is much different from the fronts. It expects all wheels to be spinning at the same rate.

Here's my car when I test fitted my friend's Volk TE37SL wheels. I think it looked great.

Specs: 235/40/17 on 17x9 et. +35

p.s. Nizzle, you do know that the car is engineered on a specific tire diameter?
you need to retain that stock rolling diameter when you change wheels and or tires.

by going to a smaller profile tire, you're changing the side to height ratio and will have a smaller rolling diameter than stock. this is no good. thus why you're getting bullshit answers

^yes. the stock car is engineered with a specific sized tire.

your new tire is supposed to retain the stock rolling diameter.

you can check it yourself by going to

Depends on what kind of tires you're looking for. All-Season or Summer?

I had Hankook V12's on my previous setup, loved them. Now I am on Achilles ATR sports, also love them and they're incredibly cheap.

I would compare tires on tires-easy.com, discounttiredirect.com and tirerack.com
