new tire and wheel combo... xxr 17x 9.75 w/ kumho 225/45/17s

 

those are some meaty tires on a tc

 

nice!!

 

Very Very Nice! Question for everyone up here, I have searched and searched but I'm trying to see what 18x8.5 with an et10 would look like in the rear of the tc? Im thinking about adding spacers to mine to get to the offset of 10, what do you guys think..

heres the car now; i don't really have a good one of the back. Any feedback welcome These are 18x8.5 on 215 35 18s.

 

Take a look at any bagged tc's fenders...
Then back at yours...
I'd certainly choose bags. Driving height with bags is bout the same height as a low static tc.

Wondering if this qualifies?...hehe

 

Qualifies to me. Minimal wheel gap. Close to flush. Basically how this thread first started. Close up pix of the fenders and wheels plz.

 

I know my fenders are really chewed up... But that's just me I don't care I'll try anything different on my car just to see how I will come out.. Bags I just wouldnt bother at all.. I would never put bags on my GS or my tc if they where given to me for free. Driving height with bags compared to a low static tc I want to see if a bag tc if they can drive as low as Jeremy's tc or any tc maxed out on 17's if you can for a year or more see how long those bags will last under that kind of stress.. But that's just me.. Thats the beauty of the car secne everyone has different taste in how they want there car to look.

 

^ Though I'd rather be static for the connivence of it and the ability to take car of the car, static tC's that actually ride super low will always have more of my respect. It takes a lot of patience and hard work to make it possible. Nah'msayin'?

 

I dont give as much respect to a bagged car as i do to static, but thats just me ive never liked cars with bags because they only look good parked. And i've been riding with rokkor maxxed out without collars for a while now and my fenders look like they are new.

And thanks for the compliments guys.

 

Ask & you shall receive!..haha..hope this is what you wanted??

 

Lol, And he would rather spend it on wheels? What kind of wheels more reps? Idk where you've been but bagged guys do roll just as a low as some static if not lower. Bags last pretty long, my homie with a bag over coilover setup rolled with it through the winter here in WA and its still running strong and works fine. U guys don't have winters in Cali right?

 

Yup I would spend it on reps... Lol.. I have no problem with reps..

 

You get more props knowing you roll static. IMO, it requires more skill driving static than bags. It forces you to be more aware of the road and you develop new skills and techniques. With bags, you can literally drive a stanced car, but when an obstacle(speed bumps, driveways, potholes) come along, you just raise the car and "cheat" your way out of it. it's more of a park, then drop the car to the floor. Which is dope, but I'd rather just be planted to the ground 24/7. I'm not hating on bags at all, if money wasn't a problem to me, I'd probably do bags. But I just gotta work with what I got for now._

 

TeeCizz - aggressive indeed sir. great job

Conveniency of bags are unparrallel to static, but I too believe people driving static get more props. The stiffness of the springs is advantageous to air struts, height being influenced by psi. I can drive airred out and low as doo doo with my swithspeed controller removed, but I wouldn't because I personally like to show tire when I'm rolling. I guess others may call airing up on speedbumps and driveways "cheating" but I see it as practicality to one who doesn't like scratching up their frame, but dont get me wrong I enjoy hearing the scrape (when I'm alone). I was always told that one with air simply drives low and park lower, but when you're taking your loved ones on a ride, it makes it a little less embarrassing for them to see you meander through a tall parking lot of speedbumps.

 

i love driving with people... their shreks, "ouches", and "is it supposed to sound like that?" make me warm on the inside as i chuckle
