Default Re: Dope status

My only argument with that RX7 is the extra wide tires/wheels are probably put on there in an attempt to obtain more grip. I have no problem with someone hacking their fenders completely off with a hacksaw to clear room for 315's, etc since it's usually done for a performance purpose. I just can't quite wrap my head around some of these VWs that just want a giant wheel, but a skinny tire (9" wheel with 225 for example); it doesn't help handling, doesn't increase grip. If these VWs had 9" wheels with 275s sticking inches past the fenders, I'd have no issue. I realize it's a style and just for looks, just don't get the point of it all personally. No offense intended.
