They are the XXR 962. Not Really for messin so would like a bit of grip any ideas??
dished wheels need to have stretched tyres. it would be a SIN not to:)
i've 235/40 eagle f1's on 9.5's and they both - handle and look sweet.
What do you mean stetched?Quote:

basicly not the correct width tyre for the wheel, like having 215 on a rim that should have 235, the sidewall is streched out to the rim!Quote:

well if the driver is not a girl then there's no need to "protect" the rim
if ya kit it hard like a man then it will damage it anyway :D:D:D
lol
go for 40 profile and stretched look mate
well theres being a girl & putting the right tire on your car!Quote:

Ya they look sweet. Think ill be getting 235 R40. Reading about stretched tyres saying they are very dangerous that they have a chance of popping off:( under hard cornering. Dnt want that happening. Thanks for all the input lads cheers:DQuote:
