Well I guess its been a while since i have let you guy know what i've been doing. And i know its not for everyone, but i really enjoy pushing the boundaries and i think this one is gunna be one of those times. Still working out everything but here is the starting process of fitting my new wheels.
Yea it looks like a additional 4 inches so assuming your running 10in wides, my guess is 14 inches wide?
BTW I still have saved photos of your car when it was sitten on the old rims on my computer back when I was still wishing I had a G8. I always loved your car man.
that would be fun, but with our already wide looking fenders it might be a lil much, ill just make em fit this original body
Thanks for all the support guy, really looking forward to unveiling this in the coming months still got alot of work ahead of me but should be a neck breaker by the end........ until i get another set haha
Nope, he's stretching a narrower tire to fit a wider wheel to help it fit.
I'm guessing 11" on the wheels, maybe 11.5. No way could a 265 go on anything wider, I don't care how much you tried to stretch it.
I have never been a fan of the stretched big camber look. How ever with that said props to you for doing your own thing and going out side the norm. Looking forward to the results and details.
Exactly my thoughts. My goal is excellent handling which requires a tire that fits squarely on the wheel so stretching isn't for me. I do still like seeing other people pushing what can be done.

I like the process of elimination, that is a very good guess yall will have to see when i get these set in stone, and a hit for the front the tire size are going to be 245/35 more stretch
well i guess ill bring this thread back from the dead lol
too much poke for even me
ahhhh that better
