hmmmmm i thinkin i might do that. what do you like better. having that super wide tire. or getting normal with and offeseting them .so it looks like it has wide tires. that way handling isn't decreased. i drive like an super cool douchebag so i like the wide profile look but i heard that having super wide/heavy tires/rims can really decrease the handling.

how did that work? because i didn't think the tires would stretch. because u must have wider rims right?

Jeez Christ. You know what I'm going to say here because you know you need to do it. So I'll spare you and not say it. The wheels are nice but you need to "______ that _____". See, I spared you again.
