Stance for the Coupe

Re: Stance for the Coupe

The wheels are Miro, I am getting Non-M offsets and have three sets of spacers to pick the right look, I want the same amount of poke as above. I drive 120km of highway a day, so I don't want to run stretched tires for that.

I'm not sure why you'd be afraid to run stretch on a daily.. tons and tons of people do with absolutely no problems. You'd be fine.

Running stretch leaves more room for rock chips on the edge of the rims. 120kms of highway driving daily will leave those bad boys chipped up pretty fast.

Max for a coupe in the rear is 9.5" width et 40 and I am going to be running 10" et32, I have to stretch.

I think better the rims take it than the fenders, the front wheels will be fine however.

Re: Stance for the Coupe

I agree. Sorry I was sorta commenting towards Danosaur's post. Running stretch daily can cause some minor problems, depending how picky you are as to what they are. I would do the same and let the rims take the punishment rather than the tires/fenders.

I suppose so, but it can't be a huge problem.. I doubt the guys who daily there cars with baller RS's would take kindly to super chipped up lips. As well, look at all the wheels and tires for sale on vortex.. if the lips got super chipped up from rocks, you'd see a lot more wheels in poorer condition than they are. I still think you'd be okay.

Re: Stance for the Coupe

Yeah, I am going to be running these daily now, the 18s are no longer coming and I am selling the 18" tires I have. I ordered a good set of 19" tires yesterday so with any luck it will work out. I won't be running much of a stretch in the front, very mild so that should make the drive a little better too.
