deng. i like dubs and the euro style. but a few of those are ugly as fuck. your car jusdubin is on point. but most of those need to go up in flames

 

Maximum tire width, on a properly sized wheel, with a reasonable alignment, without rubbing, and without fender modification is a proper fitting wheel/tire combo to me.

Jen and Terry's new car is a perfect example of what it takes to stand out. The wheels are too aggressive for the car, but with an aggressive alignment and fender work they can be made to work and they look beautiful.
(like a one size too small high heel. Sorry honey they don't fit right, but they do make the whole package look better. Thumbs up for seckseeness)

That silly shit the VWs are doing is just..... silly.

Like most things in life, just because a little bit is fun, doesn't make a whole lot... a whole lot better.

 

Oh damn, I couldn't see the pics from the first post at work. That shit is hideous. Wow.

As far as fitting maximum rubber for better performance, you don't want too much tire, so much that it hangs over the edge of the wheel, or you get too much sidewall flex during cornering. Great for dragging though.

 

I'm guilty of going 'too far' with fitment myself. Mine was a case of 'lack of proper suspension' (more like unavailability of proper suspension) on my Polo. 175/50-13s on 13X8s were pretty stretched and may have looked good if I coulda got the car down and tight BUT being a rare old euro import, it never happened as planned.

the culprit...


the victum...


now keep in mind it was being styled as an 80's lot racer in typical euro fashion BUT it never quite made it.

 

BTW... I don't give 2 shits about what ANYBODY says about VWs handling poorly... that car was the most insane handling car I've ever been behind the wheel in!! Even with the 1.1liter 50bhp mill and the too-short 4 speed with a max speed of 58mph, it would bring a smile to my face every time I drove it!!! Solid rear axle VWs may handle more quirky than IRS rides, but the axle doubles as a huge swaybar that really does it's job and makes for very predictible cornering. Get use to em and they will treat you good.

 

False.... It doesn't act as a huge sway bar. A solid axle still needs a swaybar to keep the car from leaning too much. The only thing predictable about a solid axle VW's handling is that you can predict it won't handle worth a shit. They feel solid and predictable because you're going about 25% slower than other cars.

"Get use to 'em" and you're.... well you're just use to 'em. Doesn't mean they're doing their job any better.

 

That's why I said "on a properly sized wheel" right after that.

You must read completely, to comprehend completely.

 

This made me laff.

 

your the freakin man, more people need to have fitment like that!

 

I'm pretty sure it's illegal to modify your car in the commonwealth of Virginia too, but that doesn't stop anyone!
