Interesting Discovery

Postby MR2BOY23 » Sat Jan 16, 2010 8:30 pm

So doing a service on the car today, getting it prepped for WOF. So Jacked it up, put it on stands and thought it was a good time to check my wheels

So my car has staggered rims 17X8 with 38 offset at the back and 17X7.5 with 32 at the front

So one of the 8" wheels was on the front left with a 215 tyre and the 7.5" was on the back with a 235 tyre

What are they smoking down in Levin? And how did I notice this until today?

Thats what I wanna know! A 235 on a 7.5 would look pretty lardy!
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

Any boyracer worth his salt can tell the difference straight away in a situation like this... :P
No "stance", no "hellaflush", none of that bullshit. Nothing but no grip on full boost.
