    Think its a product of just running the same tires he had before he made the wheel wider with the new lips.

    They are Falkens...which fit smaller than usual tires.

    Do you have room in the rear or is rubbing actually going to be an issue? If there is room, I personally would have ran a SLIGHTLY wider tire to fill up the wheel well a bit. I'd only stretch that much if I was running wheels which poked HARD and needed that much stretch to fit. That's just my 0.02 though.

    It just looks weird right now, as if you picked the tire size to have stretch rather than look right. It could just be the pics. When it comes to picking wheels/tires I have no doubt that you know whats what. In the pics it just looks like there is room to play with and the aggressive stretch is a little unnecessary.

    Hope that made sense.

    The new lips look SICK.

    A 205/40 on an 8.5" isn't crazy stretch. There are guys runing 195/40's on a 9" wheel. I think tires make it look more stretched than it actually is. Regardless, I think it looks great!!!!

    I've used the so called "window maker" 3 times to change my tire to be fixed. What exactly is so horrible about it? I will have to get a proper jack eventually... but it worked fine for me?
    A lot of folks have had a car drop on this POS. If you are doing any sort of work like removing a tire that might be rusted on and have to give it a wiggle the whole thing can collapse in a hurry.

    I didn't know that either, here I was trying to catch up to Derek in his wheel collection, but I guess I have passed him then, well for one car at least.
